I love you so much and I’m so proud to have shared my life with you. I made a promise to always do what’s best for you, for about 10 years that was being an advocate, caregiver, an above all your friend, and then doing what was best was holding you while you moved out of our hands and into those of the cosmos- your biggest adventure yet. Rest and run free.
See you when we all get there Mick. You were always a great friend to me and always in a good mood. Keep one saved for me.
Thank you for allowing me to help and getting to know you Mick! You were always a hoot to be around and I enjoyed your stories of times in the past. My condolences to those who will miss you and loved you! See you on the other side!
