From the time I could remember all you wanted to do is fix things. That was your  hobby.  Every holiday you would take apart your turbo car and put it back together trying to as you would say "pimp it out."  Whenever I saw you you always had some sort of grease on you.... from your latest project.  I remember in  high school you convinced mom and dad to let you change the kitchen floor.  At the age of 17 years old MR FIX changed the kitchen floor to oak hardwood floors.  Most people who have been to our house have seen that floor and probably don't know that you installed that floor all by yourself.  You then convinced them to let you install a shower in the first floor bathroom.  Our parents house was always your learning project.  You took what you learned from TV shows, books and the Internet and applied them to your continuous project.

Around 3 years ago we bought the house you were living in....our continuous project.  Everyday you would call me and say, "Bones lets change this lets do this...."  I truly believed you changed things around all the time because that was your passion.   What was my answer?  NO and then of course I would hang up feel guilty and then an hour later I would call you back and say okay do it. Bones I live here I need my place to be comfortable and nice.  Michael all your neighbors love what you did to that house... and guess what you did it all by yourself.

Till the last day of your life you came to about girls, clothing, hair and mainly life advise.  You would always tell me whatever you say BONES.  That's what you called me for as long as I can remember.  On August 17, 2010 you called me around 4:30 p.m. do you remember what you called my about?  Of course you do...I was recruiting you to do something for Lucas.  A SURPRISE.  While we were going to be out of town you promised to paint Lukey's room green....I went to ACO and bought him the green paint he wanted and had it ready for you to paint.  But now you will never be able to do it or any more favors  or projects for me again..... Now who's going to do it?  Who's going to call me a cheap ass when I don't cavein  and buy Lucas what he wants. Remeber when I bought him that Baby Yurman cross and you said wow didn't they have a bigger one why's it so small.  Your famous line... Buy him a big one Cheap Ass.

Love you always,

Bones (Monica Karcho)

PS This is the first of many letters just because your gone doesn't mean I'm going to stop talking to you.  I have to make sure Luke, Izzy and Gabby know all about their favorite uncle.
