Michael P. Flaherty

Hello, apparently I am your daughter. It's too bad I didn't find you sooner, but people did not want me to. I hope you were a good person. I wonder if I look like you.

Dearest Michael...it's been a long time since I wrote and I wanted to let you know that Teddy's Dad just died last week. The service was beautiful and difficult. Teddy is so sad and my heart just breaks for him. I was looking at Teddy's Dad's guest book and decided to look yours up. Oh how I miss you. I can't believe how often I think about you and wonder...only if. I'm still great, great friends with Pam and your Mom...actually we are family. I spend as much time with them when I'm in...

It's been some time since anyone has written - it certainly doesn't mean that we have not thought of you - there seems to be not a day that goes by that I don't miss you or think of you - I miss you as much as the first day -So many things come up and I think man i wish Mike could have enjoyed this -knowing that nothing compares to what you are experiencing right now - Spiderman II came out - you would have loved seeing that - time went to fast for you on this earth -I can't wait to see you...

Dearest Michael,
I'm so sorry you didn't have more time to know your children and your grandson. I hold the memory of watching you play on the floor with our darling grandson the week before you left us. The feeling of completion sitting in the same room with you and Dellah will stay with me forever.
Martin grieves so he missed meeting you by one day.
Only one day.
Know that I will teach our little Dylan about you and your ways. I promise.
Love Jody

mike - it's been over a year since I have been able to hug you, bug you and laugh with or at you. I miss you so much - i think of you all the time - mom and bill are in arizona now. I am reminded of you all the time with the things that are around me - the stars, butterflies, conversations that come up about egypt or the pryamids, rollerblading, spiderman, bugs, etc. I will always hold my memories of you close to my heart and think of you often. I can't wait for the day to be with you. I...

Hi Flair, I miss you. Thinking of you today. I've seen tons of monarchs flying around especially in my garden..I just say hi to you when I see them. Anyway,I found another poem that I had written to you and for you when I first met you around 1983.

Michael, after I met you

You took me to another world.

There was a mysterious aura about you.

Intrigued by you, I followed you to moments of tranquility and...

Hi Flair,It's time to make another entry into your legacy. It goes on and on... I found a poem I had written about you in 1984 and it's so YOU even to this day. I may have given you this poem. I dont remember but here it is :

MYSTERY MAN (1984 BY KAREN BRADY)

MYSTERIOUS MAN
CREATURE OF NIGHT
FLY AWAY,COME CLOSE
MOVING THROUGH DARKNESS AND LIGHT
COMING AND GOING LIKE A FREE SPIRIT
BOUNDLESS YOU FOR FOR A TASTE OF ETERNITY AND BACK FOR...

I seem to have a lot of trouble writing these letters to you. I get in the middle of one and then it goes blank and i loose it. i will try again. I miss you so much baby. I was telling you that it has been a year now since you came home and you walked into the house and said "anyone want chips" That was one of the first bbq's we had. I have'nt been able to have one yet. It may take awhile. The other day I was in the garden honey and I know you came to visit me. A beautiful dragonfly landed...
