When I first met you at the Hamden YMCA, you were looking forward to Matthew's birth. I remember when he arrived and how you always had him with you as you came to the office to use the phone or the copy machine. Also, later you always brought him with you to the After School Programs. You were never apart from him. I saw him through the years as he grew up (and up) and last saw him in your home six years ago. I believe he was just leaving behind the "dreadlock" stage.
