My Best Friend
Their is not a day on this earth I don't think about you.From the day we first met in JR high I knew we was from the same mold.We had an instant connection.I will never forget you wearing your Bruce Springsteen shirts, with the sleeves rolled up.We all know how are football connection hooked us up, but we both know it is more than that.Once we got together both of are families treated us as their own.My brother , which you considered as your brother too, still have conversations about you all the time.Just to let you know how much you ment to him,at the time of your tragic loss ,he had just left to his college in virginia for football camp,And got the call about your passing, all he wanted to do was come home, coaches called home to Dad,and said what are we going to do with him, Dad said keep him there that is what Mike would have wanted.That was so hard for Kent,He called home and said he hope you understand.And then couple years later he is div.2 all american< and after that he is elected into his college hall of fame, and he mentions you in how you was an influence in his life.I know it has been 20 years since we spoke,but i keep your name alive everyday.My son is 12 now, and knows all abot you.Myself,Kenny,T-Bone< and Ronnie make sure to keep all the stories going.All I can say is I know how close we was, because their is times I wake up in middle of night,and my wife ask's who was you talking to, and i say Mike. Love You, And miss you
