The Virtual Memorial Garden

Michael was my only child. He was a truly wonderful person. He had ADD and had a real hard time in school but he made it through. He had a remarkable quality that I wish I could emulate. He was absolutely color blind in the most wonderful sense of that term. He had so many friends. I always knew that but even I did not know the full extent of his reach or impact on the lives of other people until his wake. There were hundreds of people there. And, to my amazement, the different groups did not look like they belonged in the same room together. There were kids in suits and kids in jeans. There were kids with green hair and kids with long hair. All kinds of kids. And their parents. All the variations of the rainbows. And we all, even me, thought we were Mikey's best friend. He made everyone feel special. And we all miss him so much. He looked right through all of us into our souls and knew us and loved us as we truly are..warts and all. What a great quality!
