This is where my bitchy braincell (yes only one) starts to get creative on the breakdowns so Matthew in a pink SWEATER. (Knitted by Anne and has ‘Sight for sore eyes’ knitted on it)

Matthew in that pink sweater (I guess this is a thread now) sitting on his chair by the fire with his GLASSES ON and reading while Anne is next to him.

Matthew knitting a pink sweater like his for Anne with also ‘sight for sore eyes’ knitted on it because Anne is HIS sight for HIS sore eyes. And them matching sweaters. He gives it to her as her gift for turning 17.

He also gives her a bracelet with a shovel charm, representing the “The boy with the shovel” Anne in the Christmas pantomime. He gives both presents to her while he’s wearing his pink sweater and his glasses.

Matthew isn’t the only one to give Anne a present for her 17th birthday. Anne, after she went back from Queens a day before her birthday, got Matthew an “owl” charm representing owl Matthew in the pantomime. They exchange gifts and match sweaters. @wecansaveanne

Anne and Matthew decide to recreate the barn fight with the Avonlea Ace training for old times’ sake while matching the pink sweaters and wearing their bracelets.

Matthew and Anne matching sweaters and having a horse race at the beach. Matthew purposely slows down at the end so he can see his daughter’s happy winning face. That’s HIS sight for sore eyes right there.

Matthew and Anne on a horse ride in the white way of delight while matching their pink sweaters. They have their conversations just like the first time.

Matthew and Anne matching sweaters while knitting together a small pink sweater for four year old Delly. They’re all laughing and having the best time. Matthew tells her that she looks great in pink, regardless of what she or others may think.

Matthew, in a full blown, from top to bottom pink suit. Goes with Anne and Gilbert to fight for women rights because “fuck gender stereotypes” as he puts it.
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

After Anne and Gilbert give their speech, Matthew claps for them and is so proud at his kids. He goes and says a few words for himself “Women are not made whole by men. Women are made whole the moment they enter this world. Those are the words-
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

Of Anne Shirley-Cuthbert in her article ‘What is Fair?’. It’s time for us to start thinking more freely. It’s time for us to change”. A few but very powerful words. As he finishes, Anne hugs him proudly. While he is smiling and proud of her too.

#RenewAnneWithAnE

Matthew is sitting in his pink sweater at his chair with his glasses on reading. Gilbert knocks the door. “Come in” Matthew says. Matthew has the “so what are your plans towards my daughter?” talk with Gilbert. He sat there, with a proud smile-
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

And his blue eyes are watering as he heard Gilbert say “I want to marry your daughter. Your Anne sir.” He never expected to hear those words said about his Anne. With his shiny eyes he goes “I approve”. His sight for sore eyes is getting married.
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

After that talk, Matthew, like he always does, hugs his son in law for the first time. Gilbert hugs Matthew, feeling that soft pink sweater he’s wearing, he knows he’s lucky to have Matthew as his father in law. He’s gonna get the fatherly warmth- @wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

And love he needed, ever since his father died. And Matthew knows he’ll be a great father in law to Gilbert, and he’ll be there for him whenever he needs it, because deep down, Matthew knows he’s a great father with a gentle loving soul.

Matthew in a full blown pink suit, slowly walking with Anne down the aisle, reaching at the end and before he leaves her, he takes her hands and kisses them gently. “You’re my daughter, I’m so proud of you, Anne.” He says. Anne starts tearing up,
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

Matthew, with his shiny blue eyes can’t help himself in that moment but to hug her. They hug the warmest hug possible, then Matthew leaves her to Gilbert, he sits down. Matthew feels so much but doesn’t always show it, and he rarely sheds a tear-
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

But at that moment with Marilla next to him, when he heard Anne say “I d-o” he cries, he really cries. Marilla pats on his back as the supporting sister she is, and helps him calm down. Matthew is so proud seeing his daughter right here in this-
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

Place, he’s so happy that he got to see his daughter grow up, although he missed the first thirteen years of her life, the last years with her are irreplaceable to him. After the ceremony, Matthew once again rushes to Anne with his shiny eyes to-
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

Hug his daughter again, he never gets enough of it, he wishes to just hug her and never let go. They both hug with their tears falling off their faces, with an extreme feeling of joy. Matthew is so proud of her, he sees his Anne as a woman now.

“I love you, I love you Matthew. All these years I used imagination to pretend things that aren’t there to exist. I never imagined I can have a father Like you.” She says to Matthew. Matthew goes “and I never knew you were coming, but you were-
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

The one thing I needed my entire life. I love you, and I’m so proud of you. You will always be my little girl in my eyes no matter how much older you grow”. They say those words while hugging each other firmly. Breaking the intensity Anne says-
@wecansaveanne
#RenewAnneWithAnE

“You look perfect in pink by the way” with a cheeky smile. Matthew smiles and then laughs and they both laugh it off.
