Once we are downstairs we go to his dad's office and go inside. Once in the office we turned on the light and looked for the safe. We found the safe I told Jack that the combination was his birthday. Jackson opened the safe it was loaded with stuff. It contained important paperwork, jewelry, gold bars, and the Will of his mom and dad. The envelope read Nora Samantha Matthews in care of Jackson R. Matthews we sat on the couch and I sat down next to him grabbed his hand and squeezed it "I'm here babe okay I love you so much" "Thank you Nat for always being you I love you too" he turned over the envelope and took out the letter it said
Dear Jackson Robert Matthews,
If you are reading this something happened to me or your father. We love you very much. We raised you to be strong and resilient. You have been our pride and joy since you were born. Please have me cremated and place me on the mantle. Natalie is a great girl never stop loving her, never stop protecting her and keeping her safe. Treat her as the Goddess Queen that she is. Jackson, please know that I loved you with everything that I had. Please have a small service, and reception to follow, and please say a few words about me and the life I lived. There are two photos I have picked out for the funeral please use them. Finally, Jackson I love you so much son please don't ever change who you are inside, love Natalie with everything that you have. Give to her, provide for her, and be there for her in good times, bad times, and cherish her.
Everything that your father and I gained is yours. The house is paid off and the cars are paid off we owe nothing.
Love
Mom

"Baby let's go back to bed" I whisper to him he gets up I take his hand and we walk to the stairs and we go back upstairs and to our room.
