I will have to say it has been rough, no sleep, watching my brother cry, his little sister Victoria cry and talk is and was unbearable. Matthew had a prefect service, and with over 450 attending his wake, something the director said he never seen before. There were some fights out in the parking lot during the wake, something I was not surprised about, since there are some really hard feelings going around about Matthew and Corey's death. If you google Matthew Britt of Lumberton NC you can see a few articles about the wreck and the fact they are charging the kid. Something I am okay with, I'm just not sure what his punishment should be since he loved him also.
The mother-in-law, Matthew's grandmother is a total fake however i did get alone with her since Victoria was there and it was not about her or me, just Matthew........but I hated every second of it. However last night I did tell her son what I thought, and he agreed but left out crying.....I feel for him and I like him as a person, however his mother help take my nephew's life.
During his services, it was stated, "GOD did not do this, people make choices, and things happen, and it hit me..........her own preacher gave me the wisdom to understand she and the driver made those choices and they are at fault for Matthew and Corey's death. But can I forgive is the biggest question..........I have no idea most likely not, maybe the driver but not the grandmother, because she felt rules could be broken and Matthew did not need any rules. Now look what has happened.........we have the biggest crack in our foundation as family. Something you cannot fill up and make it better. |
A few kids I knew in a nearby school died in a car accident almost 5 years ago. The driver was 15 and was driving an F250. The other two boys were in the bed of the truck and they went down a closed road and were speeding. Long story short, the driver lost control of the truck and flipped, killing the boys in the bed of the truck instantly. The driver survived.
I know this won't make it any easier, but it was Matthew's time. God needed him in heaven for something special... God was calling him... not only do I pray for Matthew and his family, but I pray for you and your family's hearts to heal and to be able to forgive.
