Mike,
It's been almost 3 weeks and you are lingering,and I don't know why. We were BUDDY'S about 15 years ago we remained awright, We had a nice time together when we hung out. Time passes much to quickly and can't be replaced with tomorrow's. You have come back to me in my dreams and now I am missing you like never before.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

"Michael Mert", as I called you. We have a mutual friend, Greta. I will never forget the good guy you were.I was always in your corner because I knew that you were a good man. I would get so happy when you were around because you were good people as we say. I know that loosing your father was hard for you,and their are many family and friends that will miss you, what gives me some comfort...I know that you're probably chilling with your Dad right now.
