10:16 pm	mickey wow what a weekend found out that very young man dear to my heart passed away this weekend. donna i read what you wrote in his guest book and how dare you write something so moving that it made me cry. i cant beleive that mickey is gone. even thought we havent seen him in years it just seems like yesterday . i remember him bring donna that rose cuz he was so late. what a charmer he was and we fell for that smile everytime and would forgive him anything. i was so proud when i heard he was in the army and served our country in iraq and how worried i was when i heard he had been shot and how proud i felt as if he were my own son. but i know he was a child of Gods and we will see that smile again but my heart breaks for his young family left behind and donna its ok to feel sad because even though you both went on to have familys of your own he was a very important part of your life. its not for us to quiestion God decsions but it is hard to understand why He called mickey home so early. i guess we should just be glad that even if for a short time he was part of our lives and because he was we have memeories that will always make us smile Current Mood: sad (Comment on this)
