On finally meeting Matthew in person, my impressions from our correspondence were confirmed. Matthew was a thoughtful kind man. When I said surely he must have loved growing up with the other cousins through the years, he said reluctantly that yes he had, very much. But because I lived half a world away and had never known them, he hadn't wanted to mention that in case I felt I'd missed out. How sweet is that!
It was also clear how very proud and delighted he was with all his family Donya, James and Catriona, Beckie and Dom.
Keith and I are thinking of you all, and remembering Matthew's gentle smile.
