Matthew Perry

Posted bysasnelsonthomasPosted inUncategorized

I just can’t grasp why this loss is so overwhelming to me. Since Matt’s death, I’ve streamed Friends countlessly, watched every Chandler post that popped up on my screen and played the Friends tune about a thousand times. We’ve all experienced celebrity death, but why does this one hurt so much more? Is it that we all literally saw Matt as a personal friend? His witty humor and satire leaving us squirting in our seats. Was it that we all had a front row seat into the life of a man who suffered openly from addictions. Or was it that the smallest, even tiniest part of us wanted to be Chandler Bing? Either way, his loss is a sad one.

Not meaning to sound morbid but I desperately hope the coroner’s report comes back negative of any drugs or alcohol. What a sad way that would be for a man who had supposedly beaten his demons to go out like that.

Either way, Matthew Perry’s loss is tragic and one that we will carry for a long time.
