Who Knew? / Lee
So there's this song that just started playing it on the radio and the first time I heard it I immediately thought of you. Who'd of thought that we'd end up so close after all we went through? Who knew we'd become best of friends? I guess we're just so much alike that we needed to have each other in our lives to balance out the rest of the world! I know that I'll never find another Michael. I'll never find another person and have the bond that we shared. I miss you very much Michael.
Thank you for the visit last night. It was nice to see you and talk to you. I could definitely get used to this! Thanks for the hug - I definitely needed that after all that has happened in the past few weeks!! You've always been there when things were hard or stressful. Someday I'll figure out a way to thank you for that. It's nice to have someone that actually knows me and understands exactly what I'm saying. You made me realize a few things that I didn't see before. I guess it's true that hindsite is 20/20 and I'm so glad that you pointed it out! Now, I just sit here and I'm mad at myself for not realizing it before! Duh! Usually I'm the one pointing things out to you!
I love you too Michael and I look forward to our next visit!
Thanks!/ Lee
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for watching over Lacey for me over the last few days. I know that you watch over us every day, but I'm especially glad that you were able to watch over her when I wasn't able to. I know that you will continue to be beside us on this particular journey. It's good to know that I can always count on you to be there for me! You gave me a very rare and irreplacable gift and I am truly grateful.
Please continue to watch over and give me a helping hand for the next couple of weeks. The past few weeks have been emotionally draining and I'm exhausted already! I know I have many long days/nights ahead of me and I need a little extra help :)
I miss you so much Michael. How I wish you were here ...
Memorial Day / Joy (Friend)
Michael, We felt you with us today while we cooked out with your father. We love you and miss you so much. Continue to stay close.
Stay close to everyone for mothers day. We all miss you and love you so much. Hope you like the flowers that Hannah and I picked up for you. She really enjoys our visits with you, she likes to look at all the pretty flowers Lacey and Lisa planted for you. They have made everything look so beautiful. Love you Always Joy and Hannah Close

Random Things!! / Lee
I never know what to put as a title to these things that I write on here! I was just going back and reading some of the posts I've written on your site (there's quite a bit!). It's amazing to me how much you can miss a person. I know that you and I still have our conversations and we still have our sessions and I do get your messages, but it's still not the same. I wish that our conversations did not happen when I am sleeping, but I am grateful that you love me enough to visit me at all! I just really wish you were here.
I hope that you like the flowers that your sister dragged me all over creation for on Saturday!! She is so damn picky! She wanted a particular flower, in a particular color and there was NO way she was getting ANYTHING but what she wanted. She drives me nuts!! At least this time it wasn't pouring like last year! Although I'm sure you got a kick out of her "accidentally" throwing dirt at me. Ya, I didn't buy it either. I heard you telling me to throw it back at her, but we both know how that would have ended and I wouldn't have been happy!!
It's getting to be summer/vacation time and I can't help but remember all the fun trips we went on together! The ones that stick out in my mind most are my first trip to Marco when we shared the condo with you and you drove me insane! That seems to be a common occurance when we room together, doesn't it? The same thing happened in Florida when we drove down with Krista! We spent more time arguing about the stupid tv being on than anything else. I won that argument too!! :) That trip was one of my favorite trips and it was definitely an interesting week I will always remember!! Remember driving to "Universal" when you slammed on the breaks and our breakfast beverages spilled all over the car and into my shoes?? HA HA HA! I was so mad at you!! I had to stick my shoes out the window hoping that they would dry by the time we got there so I could wear them! How about our trip to Sea World when I thought it would be a good idea to sit in the front row of the Shamu show? We were all drenched and you complained about how cold you were. You never let me forget that it was MY fault that you were all wet. I don't think Selena or Lacey were very happy either!
You were such a huge part of my life and I miss you so very much. I am so grateful that I have those memories of you. I am so lucky to have been in your life for so many years. They say that people come into our lives for a reason and when you meet certain people they change you. You changed my life Michael. You made me a better person and taught me so many things. You taught me about friendship, love, about who I am and not only how to be myself, but to be proud of the person that I am. Those are the greatest gifts you can give another person. I know that you are proud of me, what I have accomplished and the person I have become. I *know* in my soul that I wouldn't be the amazingly strong person I am today without the great gifts you and your sister have given me.
Few people are lucky enough to meet special people in their lives. I was blessed to have a few of those people in my life. You are one of my special people Michael. You will always have a place in my heart nothing will ever change that. So, as this warmer weather comes and as we plan our vacations you will be in my thoughts as you always are. I will enjoy each day until I see your smile again.
Hey there little brother! I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I hope you like the flowers that Lee & I picked out for you. We're not quite finished yet, but you know how I can be so damn anal about certain things sometimes (just like Dad!). We're going to pick up a couple more to put in the front, I'm trying to find a different color though. Then we'll lay the mulch down in front as well. The back is all finished though, I hope you like that. You know already that by the time we got to the cemetery, Lisa was about ready to kill me cuz i dragged her to so many greenhouses and stores looking for the specific plants I wanted! Anyway, we'll be back to finish up the front soon and we'll be down more often to take care of the flowers. I've got a new flag for you in my trunk as well. Make those suckers bloom quick so I can take some good pictures to put up here on the site so that everyone gets to see them! I love you and miss you!
Hey you / Lisa
Just wanted to stop by and thank you for the visit. There has been so much going on and it's just been driving me crazy. Of course you know this and I knew that you'd know exactly what to say. I know you're right and I just need to ignore people and let it go, but it's hard! You're so smart! I know that you were with us at Selena's birthday yesterday. Can you believe that she's already ten???? Where did the time go?
I promise I'll work on the favor you asked of me, but I don't know if I'll be able to do it. It will probably take me some time and a few more conversations w/ you! You'll need to try a bit harder to fix that one and get off the hook!!! It's funny how much you continue to influence and help me through my life. You've always been there for me and it's very comforting to know that it will never change.
I love you Michael. Thank you for always being such a great friend. I look forward to our next chat ..
A Happy Day> / Dad (Loving Father )
Dear Son, I want to wish you a very happy Easter and know that you must be sharing the most serene holiday with the reason for it..Our Lord Jesus...but I also know that you are with us for this holiday and I trust and believe that you are here with all of us..whereever we are and what ever our place is in this life...and I also feel that you may not be happy about all that is happening here within our family...so please precious son let us know in what ever fashion that you care to to let us know how to handle this situation...and to bring your mother to some kind of resolution and understanding as to how to deal with this... I miss you so very much and love you to the utmost strength that my heart and soul can reach in this earthly body...so before I leave this life please let me know that all will be okay with the rest of your family especially with Mom and Kevin and Lacey and their respective families...I know that you were so very accepting of all that they strived to live for... and hope that we can leave them with the message that life is to be lived and revered and not to be questioned by those of us who are not in the direct stream of it---just to know that our lives are all that we have and we hope that they can accept it as we do.... I know that you must be aware of the dream I had of you last night...it was frightening to me but on an awake level I love you for reminding me of what life is...fragile and inconsolable if we do not believe in what we truly live for...a serenity that is to come in a flood of relief...finally and maybe all too soon! I love you dear son and miss you perpetually in everything that I do and think... please help me to go on and for the "family" to continue. Always in my Heart, Dad Close
Memories/ Joy
Michael, Today we went to Marco Island for your Mothers birthday and every where and everything reminded me of when we went, the way you showed me and around and us goofing off on the beach. It was a very windy day and I was not going into the water, and I can remember you picking on me and throwing me in. We had so much fun that summer and I can not and will not ever forget it.
We all felt you with us today as we celebrated your Mothers birthday, wishing we could hear your laugh and see your smile.
Please remain close to the whole family not just for Easter but for as long as you can. The family as a whole could really use some of your cheer and goofiness. We all love you so very much and will be thinking of you all day tomorrow and everyday. You are always in our hearts. Missing you always!! Close

We love you and Miss you so much. I know that you will be with everyone on Easter and with your Mom on her birthday. Just know that I will be in Florida also with your parents. Thinking of you always. Close
Friendship/ Lisa
Last night while laying in bed trying to sleep I was thinking of you as I often do and I was thinking how blessed I was to have had you in my life. Let's face it, we went through A LOT over the years. We had our ups and downs. We had our fights and our periods where we wanted to kick each other, but regardless of that we knew just how much we cared about each other. I know I've said this before, but we both knew that we'd always be there for each other no matter what. I've learned that it is very rare that you find that loyalty in another person.
In life you learn that there are only a handful of people that you can trust completely with all of your secrets, all of your dreams and with yourself. Someone who you can just be yourself with. Someone you don't have to censor yourself with. Someone who is a true definition of the word, friend. I had all of that in you. You were truly one of my best friends. One of the few people I was lucky enough to be able to trust completely. One of the few that never let me down and always stood by me. I always knew you'd be there for me and I know that you are still there and that even if I can't see you, you'll always be there.
I know that you knew just how much of an important part of my life you were we never had to say it, but I never actually said this to you so I'm saying it now. Thank you for being that person for me. You have no idea how much you impacted my life or how much you mean to me. I had no idea just how much I would miss you Michael.
I love you so very much for being such an important part of my life - for being such a great friend. Close
