About matthew
Two years after Matt was married, he was diagnosed with brain cancer, and was told that he had less than three months to live. But with a successful surgery, radiation and a lot of prayer, Matt is still here ten years later, alive and cancer free. Matt started writing his story about everything that had happened to him, but the hole in his brain left him with reading problems. Unable to proofread what he had written, he put the book to be aside and hoped to pick it up again some day after his brain has had time to heal.
Four years later Matt’s daughter Nora was born. Motivated by his precious little girl, Matt tried writing again. But he still had problems with his reading, so the story changed from 300 pages to 30. More artwork than words. While putting the new story together Matt’s grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer. His mom left home to go help out in this terrible time. And while she was over with her parents, she took some time out to get a freckle checked out, she had skin cancer. The tumor was remover and she is fine, but after the bump was removed, his mom was left with a scar that went from the bottom of her wrist, up to her elbow pit. Forever scared. Matt’s grandma did not survive. A sweet little lady that loved whales, golf and cheating at cards. A lady that took Matt out for DQ’s dipped comes every year on his birthday, was gone.
Matt is a family lover and a cancer hater. His story “Nora’s Pink Boots” is not a true story, but it is based on real things.
