Matt's Grandma--the next in your series

Matts eyes were open, but i do not know for sure if he was awake or not. He didnt mention anything to us, just looked at us and went back to sleep afterwards.
 
Matthew very upset this weekend. He has walking around singing 'Bye, Bye Miss American Pie' all weekend. Tonight, he finally told us that he feels this way because he let America down.
 
Hmmm

I've been following this story since last fall. Matt sounds like an interesting kid. Did he explain more about why he feels he let America down? Who was he in another life that he feels he let America down?
 
No, Matthew never mentioned what he had 'done wrong'. But he sure feels like he has done something. He has walked around so sad this past weekend. He keeps saying that he has got to get out of here.
 
Hi. It has been a long time hasnt it? I am sorry about waiting so long to write but I havent felt well in for a long time. Matthew is doing okay. He starts first grade in September. He still has his 'moments' but it is nothing like as often as it used to be. Last week, he was standing outside our garage door when I started calling him. I called him three times and finally he looked inside the door. His 'pointing fingers' were placed on each side of his forehead and he politely said 'can't you see that I am already talking to someone' and then he went back outside the door. My 92 year old great aunt lives next door and her health is failing big time. She tells my mother all the time about the people in the livingroom or kitchen. And has even gone as far as telling my mom that she needs to go to the store to get more food for everyone. One time when my mom was telling us this, Matthew happened to be in the room. My mom was 'complaining' about my great aunt driving her nuts telling her things like this and then my mom having to tell her that all these people that my great aunt had mentioned were dead. Matthew spoke up and said that she really does see these people even though my mom cannot see them. Matthew also started something recently where when he wants something to happen bad enough, he will go into some kind of self trance kinda thing. (make sense?) He puts his fingers on the sides of his forehead and he says he thinks about what ever he wants to happen. He doesnt have a perfect record on this but it does happen 1/2 the time. He told me that he thinks this gift is AWESOME. (his words) Well, there is lots to catch up on but I have been real tired lately. So I had better go. Talk to ya soon, I promise.
 
Hi, Its the day before Thanksgiving now and I started to think about what I was thankful for. One of the biggest things (besides the normal things, family, home friends) was this web site. I am not sure how things would have turned out if I hadn't seen about this web site on Unsolved Mysterys. Each of you have helped both Matthew and I get through a lot of things. Not to mention the rest of the family. Matthew doesn't 'do things' as often as he used to, but they are still there. You can tell by looking at him sometimes that he is thinking about something sad and the tears will begin to form in his eyes. He still doesn't want me out of his sight, but he is getting better. I hope each of you have a great Thanksgiving and thank you so much for being there!! mattsgma
 
Many Blessings ................

For you and Matthew -

I want to thank you - for being part of this community! We have been honored to have you here - and are thankful for your willingness to share Matthew's journey.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!! :)
 
Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to second what Deborah wrote above. Matthew’s story has kept many a member here enthralled and truly touched and we should be thanking you equally for sharing so much with us all. And as I’ve said before, Matthew’s a lucky little boy to have such a wonderful and compassionate soul such as yourself looking over him.

I wish you and the whole of your family much love and future happiness (and I look forward to any future instalments) :)
 
Hi, its been a long time since I last wrote. Lots of things have happened around here. Matthew went to live with his Uncle Bryan & Aunt Stacey on January 8th. They bought a new house and Matthew has the run of the whole upstairs. I see him just about every day. He seems to be adjusting well to living there. I havent been feeling well lately and just havent felt like doing anything. I keep asking myself if it is depression or not. Matthew is going to a different school now and he goes to church every Sunday. He still cries to stay here sometimes but the two of us sat down and talked the other day and I let him know that he needed to realize that everyone here loved him more than anything and for 'me to give him up' to go to Uncle Bryans house meant that I loved him more than he could ever know. I wanted him to have better things and a 'calmer life' than what was going on here. I told him that I was only 5 miles away from him at all times and I could come get him anytime that he wanted. But that he was going to live there and for Bryan & Stacey to 'adopt' him that they loved him too. He doesnt 'talk alot' about things that he 'did before' but every once in a while he comes up with some things that he says is going to happen and how sometimes it makes him sad. Well, I am going to go now. My mom keeps telling me about a program she saw recently that had a 6 yr old boy on it that she says reminds her of Matthew to a T!! I keep trying to find out what she is talking about but dont even know where to start looking. When she was telling me about it, she looked white as a ghost. Oh yeah, the weekend before Easter, Matthews other grandparents came to Richmond to get him for a couple of days. They havent seen him since Christmas. Anyway, Matthew called around 6pm on Sunday and said that he wanted to come home then, RIGHT THEN. We had to wait for our daughter to come get Matts brother, Scotty and it took longer than we thought to get there. There was an urgency in his voice and we couldnt figure out what was going on. Anyway, on our way to Virginia Beach to pick up Matt, my husband had a stroke and 'blacked out'. He couldnt see anything and he was paralized holding the steering wheel to the left the whole time. All he kept telling me was 'I cant see, what are we hitting, I cant see anything!! We were on interstate 64 in holiday traffic and all the lanes were packed. But believe it or not, we went across 3 lanes without hitting anyone!! Its like all of a sudden, all the cars were gone. It was happening in slow motion and felt like it was taking forever. But it couldnt have lastest but a few seconds. We finally hit the concrete barrier and rode for a while on that and right before the drivers door hit, we went up on 2 wheels and the outside mirror was taken off, the windows smashed out and I knew we were going to go over the wall and into the west bound set of lanes on our hood. But something happened and it felt like there were hands on the hood of the truck and it put us back down. Our truck was totaled but we didnt hit anyone else and other than being shook up, both of us are okay. We were within 1/4 mile of the exit to get Matthew and less than 5 miles away from him. He started calling us on our cell phone about the same time that we realized that we were okay. When we finally got to him, the first thing he told me was "I told you to come right after I called." (We had to wait for Matthews mom to come home to get Matthews brother, about an hour delay.) He has told me that it isnt time for me to die yet. Well, sorry this is so long and I am really gonna go this time, I will try to write back more often. mattsgma
 
Hi again, I feel so depressed today. Not sure why but I watched (well, not really watched but kept turning it off and on) the Sixth Sense last night. I couldnt watch all of it but I couldnt help but keep flipping back to that channel. It reminded me so much of Matthew. It seems like that little boy went through so much and I can see Matthew crying like that little boy all over again. It brought back so many feelings for me and it is really affecting me today. The way that the little boy would tell his mom that he saw the people and all, it has blown me away feeling those feelings again. Does anyone ever get over this? Do only certain children remember things? None of the other 'grandchildren' have done anything like this.
 
I am sorry you are feeling down today. (((((((mattsgma)))))))))
How is Matthew doing today? How has he been lately? Remember - that because of his psychic abilities, when you are feeling down or fearful - he knows and will act out in one way or another. In the movie Sixth Sense -the more fearful and upset the mother became -the more withdrawn the boy became. ;)

Try to stay positive, find the good in everything he says and does and stay congruent with your feelings. Don't try to hide them from him, he will know -what is true or not.

Does Matthew have a pet? Something he could bond with - love and feel responsible for? A pet would be a very important thing for him at this age. A best friend. :)
 
Since school has let out for the summer, Matthew has been staying with us for a while. The other night, when it was time for him to go home, he actually laid down on the floor and screamed. All he kept saying was that he had to be here to protect me. He never said from what, but he truly believes he needs to be here to protect me.
 
Areally fascinating story, thank you for shareing and keeping us all updated on your grandsons progress. If I may say so, it is my feeling that not only is your grandson picking up on past life info., but it is my feeling that he is also very psychic as well. My suggestion, and it is just that, would be that you might take the time to find as good a psychic as you can in your area, check also as to the fee involved. Explain your purpose to the proposed psychic if money is indeed an issue. Take your grandson and have the psychic do a reading, this may be possible without Mathew being present. He sounds as though he is gifted in the area of psychic abilities. It this is also found to be the case by the psychic you had chosen, (you may wish to try two.), perhaps some input by the psychic and/or other psychics may decide a course of action for Mathew. I feel that many of his issues are real and some may possibly be imagined. I had been psychic most all of my childhood years, and even though my parents were very supportive, it was still something I did not discuss, and many unusual things did indeed occur. I have to wonder how marvelous things might possible be for other child psychics if only guidence could be given at an early age.
I wish for you the very best,

This is a great story to read. ;) Megan has linked the first parts of the story in post #1.

Enjoy!

Any new updates on your grandson mattsgma? It's been a while.

Chris..;)
 
Hi, It has really been a long time, hasnt it?! So much has gone on in our lives. To begin with, Matthew will soon be 10 yrs old. He still lives with his Uncle Bryan & Aunt Stacey. He is doing well in school and in sports. As far as I know, Matthew dosent talk much about "things' anymore. He seems to be a normal 9 yr old and I believe that he really dosent remember the things he used to say and do. I, however, think about Matthew doing these things all the time. I have printed out every thing that has been written about him and to him for him to read later on in life. I hope he realizes how special that he is to everyone.
 
Hi mattsgma,


Thank you so much for the update on Matthew. It's wonderful to hear that he's doing well. :) I'm sure he will really appreciate you keeping everything for him to read when he's older. He's a very lucky boy to have a grandma who loves him so much.


Blessings to you and your family,


Ailish
 
Goodness mattsgma. I have just been reading all about Matt. You have been through a lot, but it seems to have come out OK in the end, which is wonderful and should give heart to other parents who may be struggling. Very glad you did not go down the medication path. I think doctors are much too quick to hand out pills these days personally.


I remembered 'things' when I was little (but did not get upset by it particularly). I wasn't hyperactive, although a lively, fidgetty and talkative child, but that's just me and ADD wasn't 'invented' yet. I sometimes wonder about sugary food and chemical additives in kids' diets and too much TV being responsible, at least in part, for this upsurge we have seen in recent years (not to mention over-diagnosis for reasons of profit - but that's a whole other story).


I kept my thoughts about it all to myself though, knowing that I would probably not be able to make myself understood properly, besides, what do you say? I was quite aware of being 'different' though. So your grandson is lucky in that way.


I stopped thinking about any of it for quite a few years in my childhood (although I didn't really forget I just didn't think about it - just busy running about doing kid stuff really). Now and again I might think of something, but it was only in passing and I paid it no mind really.


I read a book about age 14 or so, 'Life after Life' and suddenly the penny dropped. No wonder! That explained everything! That was was all this 'stuff' was!


Later, in my late teens I met up with someone I 'recognised' and it all started coming back to me and I began to be more interested in it all, but I hardly ever told anyone about it, let alone anyone who believed me or took it seriously.


So, your grandson is very lucky. I am sure he will grow into a fine young man. Chances are as he matures he might start thinking of 'things' again and he might be quite psychic by the sound of it. He will be very appreciative of all the things you can tell him about his childhood exploits I am sure.
 
Hi, just wanted to let you know that Matthew started school today. He is now in 5th grade. Time flies, doesnt it? I took him to play putt putt this past weekend and my son let me know that after he got home, Matthew was very depressed. He would hit himself on his face, he said that he didnt like it at his home and come to find out, Matthew does this every time that he leaves our home. My son doesnt want him to come back for a while. Also, on another note, Matthew used to tell me all the time, that he would die when he was 12. He turns 10 next week but that isnt even the problem. We were watching tv and a program about Nostradomas came on. He predicted in 2012, the world was going to end as we know it. Matthew didnt say anything but he just looked at me as if to say I told you so. Well, getting ready to paint the side porch and wanted to get this in before I got started painting. Thanks for listening.
