My grandnephew, Matt Masterson, is the only son in a family with three kids. Of course, you know that the brother is always going to pick on his sisters, and Matt is no exception. When they were younger, of course, Matt, like most boys could tease almost to the point of being mean, but now “Bubba” as the girls often call him, is more mature and more kind to them. His sisters, Raelynn “Rae” and Taylor like going places with him and he doesn’t mind running them around when they need to go somewhere. Matt’s working so, he often uses his money to do things for his parents and sisters. Also, when he isn’t working, he likes gaming. Matt has paid for the girls to go see “Inside Out 2” and has bought both of them things like plushies and drinks when they’re out and about. Taylor tells me that Matt is the epitome of the person she wants to be, “He’s kind and funny as well as strong and protective. He knows how to hold himself in a tough situation and he knows when to just listen.” She says, “I love my older brother with more than my whole heart and it’s hard to think he’s 19 now.”
Matt’s mom, Dustie Masterson tells me, “Matthew has some goals for this coming year. He is going to get his GED and then he’s decided he wants to become a pharmacy technician with the option of college later to become a certified pharmacist. I’m so proud of him for taking the time to think through and decide what he wants to do in life.” She says, “Matt is single these days and loving it. He isn’t one for casual dating. He is far more conservative about that than other guys his age. He is mature in that he wants to be happy and refuses to settle for anything less.”
Matt works at GNC at the Eastridge Mall, as a key holder. He can open and close the store by himself and has been scheduled to do an open to close shift. He is becoming quite the salesman too. He is very good at suggestive marketing, which is the mark of a good salesman. Dustie says, “It’s that charming character of his, I’m sure. I think he could sell snow cones to an Eskimo.” Hahahahaha!!! That is a funny idea.
Dustie tells me that, “last but definitely not least, he is a good man. He takes care of his sisters like no other (I feel for anyone who tries to hurt them), and he takes care of his mama. He comes and says good morning every day, he will randomly stop in my work and check to see how I am and make sure I’m ok. He is so much like his dad (Rob Masterson) in that respect. He is a sensitive man, and I don’t mean in a bad way, but he can tell what people need and does everything in his power to see that those he cares about have their needs met.” I don’t think that better things can be said about a man than to have his loved ones tell of his goodness. That says it all. Today is Matt’s 19th birthday. Happy birthday Matt!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
