In a power chair, he rolled. But now, he walks with angels. With strong legs. His spine whole. How I long to hear the smile in his voice as he says "Hello Sunshine" to me just one more time. To sit and discuss the philosophies of life. Such kindred spirits were we. No one fully understood my phisciality the way he did, for we lived it together. He would always understand in a way no one else would. I never knew another to have such hardships in his life. And he made it all just look so easy. Despite his pains, he always had a smile and warmpth for others, with little care to his own needs. He made the world a better place just by being in it. My life rolls on without you now. It just doesnt seem right. I feel like I can just pick up that phone and you will be on the other end. You will still be well enough to come up to Wyo to visit, we will make it to Vedauwoo with you this summer as planned, you will come stay with us for a time. I am reeling this day and the hole is only filled by my tears. I know you are well, and happy, no more pain, no more worry. I am having a hard time letting go though, my dearest friend. My heart will scar over in the place where you lived within it, sealing you within me forever. ~Bueno bye~ until we meet again. How I miss you, Michael....
