I miss you Uncle Mike.. I cant get you off my mind but then again I thought about you so much before you were gone! I will forever hold the memories close to my heart. Just like that day I was in labor with Zack. You sat with me all night while my dad was sleeping. I woke up and talked you about those lil orange pills they gave me.. You teased me about that everytime I saw or talked to you. I love you forever and always!! Hug daddy and mamaw for me :(
