Thank you for this, Matthew. I held off on reading, because I selfishly didn't want to think about someone else's grief, but you did something really helpful and beautiful. We get through and we go on and it makes absolutely no sense. Someone will read this, and it will help them. I am so sorry for your loss, which I cannot even begin to imagine. I am glad you have each other.

Thank you for sharing this and all the music at a moment where it most certainly can’t be easy to do so. You are greatly helping others in ways you can’t know.

No words can make a difference but I trust, eventually, that your music can.

Some of the most talented writing I have ever encountered. Thanks to your wife for posting the link in her story. You and Allegra are always in my thoughts and Renzo's beautiful smile is imprinted in my mind.
