Mike’s 6 Year Anniversary
Dear Michael,
I can not believe that it was 6 years ago today that you left us. Some days it feels like forever ago and some days it feels like yesterday.
As I think about this day 6 years ago, I remember so many things. I remember the doctors pulling me into a private room to tell me that we were on a bridge to nowhere and that I needed to make a decision. I remember the songs that were playing in your hospital room as your life on this earth started to wind down. I remember how hard you fought to stay with us and the last words you spoke to me right before you were airlifted to Indianapolis. You said to me "You have to keep going! You have to keep going!"
I had no idea how prophetic those words would be!!!
But I want you to know that I have kept the promise that I made to you and I have kept going.
You did a wonderful job preparing the way for Seth and me to live a life without you!! You have taken great care of us as you always did!!
Seth just finished his sophomore year in college and is an amazing young man with your smile and sense of humor. Hello Gorgeous! Is still going strong, we just passed 17 years. This year we opened Kim's Kloset, a dream you and I had to help more women battling cancer.
You lived a short life, but it was an incredible life!! You touched so many people and you still do. I have people approach me and tell me what an amazing man you were, and I have people who hear us talk about you and wish they would have had the opportunity to meet you!!
We miss you, but we know that you are with us. Trisha and I often joke that you are working harder in heaven than you ever worked here on Earth!!!!
Thank you for 23 3/4 years of a great marriage. Thank you for the wonderful man that I get to call my son and thank you for all of the wonderful memories to look back on and smile!!
As the Song Says…….
Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
We love you!!!!
Kim
