Farewell to Michael


Michael, when I think of you I think of a gentle man.

Who cared about his friends, his family, his dog.

I admired your loyalty, and your trusting nature.

I appreciated your humility and your humanity.

The fact that you could admit your mistakes and apologize

and accept responsibility, and that you could accept an apology and

freely forgive showed your true stature.

I miss your humour, and your gentle spirit.

I mourn your passing, keenly, for it means that you are gone from us,

and never stand the chance to find that great love that I believe was

out there waiting for you,

the woman who could help fill that void that you filled with drugs,

and give you the children you deserved to father.

We have been deprived of your support in our old age.

We are left with so many questions.

What really happened?

Was there something we could have done?

Did we not try hard enough to dissuade you from your course?

Lastly, Michael we will miss you……..
