First, Thank you Admin for your tribute to Mick!
To the family, I would like to thank you, for taking the time to inform us, for allowing us to share in your personal life, and in a small way, to share in the grieving process. May you find that peace, that goes beyond all understanding, and find joy, in knowing just how good a man that Mick was. He indeed, touched many, many lives, here on SMF. I am personally very thankful, for the knowledge that I gained from Mick, over the last few years.
When I first saw this post a few days ago, I was taken back. We get so used to family, friends, the girls at the quick mart, always being there. We take for-granted others presence in our lives.
We recently lost a young man, who was a friend to two of my children, to an overdose. He was 27. This was a real shock to many young people who knew him, or knew of him, through social media. It can be difficult to come up with the right words, words that comfort, really have meaning, when we are hurt, confused, grieving...and the only words that I could offer to my kids, were these...dying is a sad thing...not a bad thing. While we grieve the loss of someone, we can also rejoice, in that they have completed their journey. One we all have to make. And I pray when this journey for me is over, I can leave half the positive mark on this earth, that Mick has!
So, I will keep the family in prayer, as well as all of you. There are many here that I have come to respect, and expect, to be here tomorrow. Let us all ... NOT take... this life ... for-granted! +++Bro
