Missing Mikey


I'm writing this post through tears. We lost our dear Mikey unexpectedly this Christmas. He's Quenton's younger brother. Words cannot describe our grief. To lose somone so close...a sibling, and so young...he would've been 35 this month. This picture was taken 2 years ago today. We've only seen him once since then, but somehow the fact that visits were rare (he's lived in California for the past 8 years) doesn't diminish the grief or great loss we feel. It's been difficult to accept the fact that he is gone from this earth and we will never see him again here, we will never hear his laugh or share an inside joke...it's just too painful to comprehend. But Praise be to God that he knew Jesus and his faith was in Him. Our hope now is in knowing that he is with his Lord happy and peaceful until we meet again.
I've posted my ABBA playlist in loving memory of all the times we sat and listened to and sang along to all our favorites. I can't listen to ABBA and not think about Mikey. Thanks for the memories, Mikey. We all miss you terribly.
