Dear Matthew, The internet is awash with words of love for you today. Your passing has hit us hard, for many reasons. For me, the absolute irony… that your life’s work is my ‘safe-place’. Guaranteed to switch my mood, lift my soul and make me laugh. You spoke, through Chandler, to that part in all of us that was just never quite enough, but oh so very much. In your real life, you spoke to that part of us that just can’t find a place in this world. The part of us that demons make a home in. And we wished you clarity, oh we wished you clarity. And we rooted for your healing, for your resurrection to peace. We wanted your happiness, your wellness, more than you could have known then. I think you will know now. If only your darkness along the way, could have been lifted a little, by binge-watching Friends and remembering that life is all things. If only laughter could have helped you from the start, the way the laughter you brought, has helped so many. Matthew, I know you have that peace now, at last. The peace that outran you for so long until recently. And I am glad for that, at least. But my sadness is immeasurable today. Thank you for your time on this earth, you made it a better place for us, if only we could have done that in return. Sleep well, you are loved. Xx #mathewperry
