Mike

Today is one of those days that I tend to try and let slip by without remember the past. Today it did not work as planned. I found myself on edge and cranky for most of the day. I spent most of the day trying to figure out why I was on edge.

      I have taken some big blows over the years. Some that I cannot even begin to understand or explain how I came back from them. I try not to remember them every day but, today I remember.

     I lost Mike almost nine years ago. His death was the beginning to a tornado of changes in my life. Mike's suicide wrecked havoc on my life. I found Mike in our house... I still don't know how to write about what I saw that day. The amount of shock I went through might have a lot to do with that.

    Mike was incredible. He had a light around him like non that I had seen before or after his death. We spent a lot of time together over the course of his last year.  I don't know how many lesson I learned by knowing Mike. Some were great some were not so great.

          I started writing this three days ago after randomly working on my Mike tattoo... Then last night suddenly I found a facebook page in his honor. I hadn't planned on posting but, I think it is only right to say how much I miss him and thank him for all the life lessons.

  2. It is hard. It is so confusing and difficult to get through... The memories seem to flood at the strangest moments.
