Stories of Lost Children
My Little Matthew
by Annette Fleming, Clearfield, PA, U.S.A.
My 4yr old Matthew died on December 26 1996. My story started Christmas which I thought was a wonderful day. It had been one of the best Christmas's my husband, 2 sons, daughter, and I ever had. I put my kids to bed at 9:00 p.m. I never knew that would be the last time I would see my oldest boy. I woke up around 7 a.m. only to find my son's room on fire. My youngest boy had made his way to me in the night to sleep. My daughter was with me of course because she was a baby. Matt had gotten trapped in his room, and no one could get to him. It's been 7 years and nothing seems to be any easier for me. My husband and I got a divorce and I will always question if that had something to do with it. I feel alone and don't know where to turn. Not only is my son gone but my family has fallen apart as well.
