Michael James Gurt

It's hard for me to believe that this is 19 years in a row I didn't see you for Christmas. I don't understand how yesterday and forever can feel the same. Those that say things will get better with time must have poor memory as I can't imagine things getting better until we meet again. I look forward to it, see you soon. Love always, Dad

Good morning, Michael. It was right about now 32 years ago that we first met. It was cold that morning like today, you exhausted your mother until she got to see and hold you. We all wish you would've still been here making new memories. It's been hard thinking what could've been. Love you and miss you greatly. Dad.

Michael, it's been a long 18 years. Time doesn't heal this at all, it doesn't even make anything easier. I can still hear you and see you in others, it really helps. I sure miss you. Dad

Happy Birthday Michael, I really wish you were still here with us. I know you would have a good time seeing your nephew. I miss you.

It should have been a happy birthday, but we can't share it with directly. You left 13, today we transpose the numbers and you'd be 31. You've been gone over a quarter of my life, it no longer feels like yesterday but more like forever ago. I was out where you left us today, it was crisp this morning and much warmer than I remember it being the day you were born. The leaves are changing and it would've been a great day to put the top down and go for a ride through the woods to see the...

Hey Michael! I went to visit that last place you were today, as it was 17 years ago today that I saw you last. Obviously the results are the same and my recollections aren't as sharp as they were. I still think of you frequently and am always asking what if. I guess the question should be when instead of what if or why. At this point for me it'll be sooner rather than later. We still miss you and will always love you. Dad

Happy 30th Birthday Michael, I really wish you were here to celebrate it with us. I wonder what you would be doing if you were still here with us, and what kind of silly things would you be doing with Evan. I miss you and wish you were still here with us.

Hard to believe that you got here 30 years ago today. I think it was another cold morning when I went home to tell your brother and sisters that you were here. It was an amazing journey while you were still here. We all have a lot of fond memories, today I was thinking how you'd wear a cape and run and jump then ask how many of you we saw. Whenever I have a milkshake I remember you scooting down the stairs pleading for a shake and wanting to help make it. Frequently when I'm riding my...

Happy belated birthday buddy
