Yes I remember his singing so well, Steve! Many times a day he sang loud and without embarrassment to the Lord. And other songs too, such as “What’s it all about, Alfie?” and “I could have danced all night.” Brings back very good memories to me. I’m glad you have his boat Steve, it’s just the right thing. Thank you for leaving your thoughts….I was blessed by them today. And that video! I treasure that. xoxoxo

Mike loved Jesus so much, and loved to sing His praises. Only now, he knows all the lyrics rather than just a line or two. Remember, he’d sing the first line in tenor, then switch to bass, but only the first two lines. Ha!

My dad and I went fishing in Mike’s boat on Memorial Day. It will always be “Mike’s boat”. Many fond memories of fishing with my buddy in that boat. Enjoy your eternal joy my friend. We will see you again.

I agree with you Kathy — the dream I had about Michael was a wonderful “holdover” until I see him again. And so was yours. 🙂 Seventh generation Californians! Wow. I am a first generation Californian — my parents moved from Missouri and I was the only one in my family born there. I was raised in the Covina area. I pray for your hope and joy today, Kathy! xoxo

Dearest Kathy. You have experienced so much grief and loss. I am so sorry. There are no words (as most of us realize) for such pain. And to have lost your big, vital son so early…I can’t imagine. I was so happy to read about your dream, Kathy. What a gift, and in the kitchen, as you said, makes it even more personal. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by here and leave your story. I’ll be praying that God will give you strength, hope and joy. xoxo

I like that picture of Bernard, Ember. Oh, if we could see through that veil… xoxo

Maybe it was the Lord’s gift in response to my longings, Valerie! 🙂 God bless you… xoxo
