Matt's Trip to the Zoo
by Christine De Mara
My granddaughter Elizabeth and my son Matt, who died by suicide in 1999, were very close. She adores her Uncle Matt. She often dreams of Matt and we always tell her that the dreams are letters from Heaven. I would like to share some of our letters from Matt all the way from Heaven.
One night I had a visit from Matt while I was sleeping. He came to tell me he was taking Elizabeth to the zoo. He was wearing his jean shorts, a long sleeved white "Avalanche" T-shirt, white socks and his tennis shoes. The next moment I saw him walking hand in hand with Elizabeth on the way to the zoo. In the morning Elizabeth called me to tell me she went to the zoo with Matt during the night and that she had so much fun! She also mentioned he was wearing jean shorts and his favorite white T-shirt. She was about 5 at the time.
Matt has also come to Elizabeth and taken her fishing...actually teaching her how to fly fish.
