Michael’s Services – October 16, 2021

Michael, Mike, Big brother Mikie, Uncle Mike, Daddy, Cousin, friend, Dude. From the moment I knew I was pregnant with you, you struggled. When I brought you home from the hospital, you struggled…Then suddenly you were a strong, healthy growing boy. Watching you grow from a beautiful baby into a happy, sweet and kind little boy; to a smart, funny, talented young man; and finally, into a wonderful man and father, this has truly been a joy. You always had a smile and something funny to say. You were hard working, ever giving, kind and gracious. You would never say no to anyone who asked for help.

Over the past few years, we watched you slowly decline in health. You endured so much pain and illness, yet you did it with such grace and strength. You endured without complaint. A man of such strength only comparable to your grandfather, my dad.

I’m so blessed to have had the last year and a half with you at home. You had good days and not so good days. But on those good days we laughed, watched IP Man movies and ate tacos. I have so many wonderful memories. Memories that I will share with Olivia. She will know how much her daddy loves her. I miss you terribly Michael and the emptiness in my heart will never go away, but I know that you are finally at peace and no longer in pain. This is what I will keep close to my heart. 

In the words from the book that I read to you every night when you were a child - Michael, my beautiful boy, I’ll love you forever. I’ll like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be. I love you, son.
