Remembering...

I can't stop thinking about my cousin Michael.  Even though he lived in California, Colorado and even Virginia he always made it a point to be a part of our lives.  He knew each of us, our children and what was going on in our lives.  He shared his excitement of his growing family and we shared in his pride during Jason's wedding in Baltimore, and the birth of his first grandson.  I'm so thankful we made that trip to Baltimore! 

He was so young, so full of life I just have a hard time accepting that he's gone.   

Just recently I was again reminded of Michael when I seen a man who had that same easy smile and love for life.  It made me stop and listen for that laugh that you knew was Michaels.  I could still hear it...
