James Michael "Mickey" Calo

Mickey, you already know that everyone is exactly where Daddy wants us to be at this moment. I'll do what I can while I'm here.

So sorry for your loss, Chris. Hang in there, buddy.

Dear Micky,

I loved getting to know you. Meeting your son was the best thing that ever happened to me, and through him I met another wonderful, exceptional man that was soft spoken, kind, and a rock solid father. I remember the story you told one time when coming down and having dinner with my folks; you had joined the army and were already stationed but received a draft notice. You said you went in to your commanding officer's tent and said "Sir, I have to leave, I've been drafted!"...

Hi, Dad. I still can't believe you're gone. I miss you so much. I'm sorry I didn't call you back when you called me to wish me a Happy Birthday. I took you for granted - I thought you were immortal. You were larger than life, better than the best, and you were supposed to come to live with me. It didn't really occur to me that anything like this could happen.

I'm sorry for being sad. You're probably in Heaven, surrounded by Mom and all my cats, happy as can be. I know that regardless...

Rest In Peace Mickey. You were a good man.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
