One year ago I found out you left us. One year ago I felt what real loss is. One year ago and every day since, I’ve asked myself why. I have accepted the fact that I’ll never understand even though I’ll always wonder. So I hold tight to the memory and the fact that I’m so much better for having known you. Like I said a year ago, you are one of those rare people who only brought good into this world. You lit up everyone around you with your gentle demeanor and palpable compassion. I hope you’re happy wherever you are, my friend. I hope you’re watching over all of us knowing how much we miss you.
“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.” — Ernest Hemingway
Have always loved that picture. How lucky you are to have known such a special man and friend who you shared years of laughter with. A lovely tribute to Mikey.
If everyone could have but one friend liike Mikey what a wonderful world it would be. You were fortunate to call him your friend. I wish we all had one person in our life who only gave us joy and laughter, never any sorrow or worries./
