Michael,
In the past few hours that I saw your picture and recognized instantly that it was you, was shocking when I realized it was a picture in memory of your passing. It's unreal really, for me to try and accept, and it very much saddens me.
Even though we weren't in each other's lives presently, I find it heartfelt which people stick out to us, and what memories of those people we choose to hold on to.. and there is nothing but positive memories I have of you.
I remember you as a childhood classmate, and hopefully a friend of mine , if you agree.
A classmate from middle school, who I had English class with and had the exact same birthday as.. November 7th,1995. So I hope you know that every birthday I celebrate is a celebration of your life too, because you're probably the only birthday twin I ever had!
A middle school is the one place where a kid can expect other mean kids, an awkward stage of growing up, and being in an uncomfortable environment. But when I think of having you as one of my classmates... You were always a sweet person that stuck out from the rest. I'm sure whoever crossed your path, had their frowns turned upside down because you seemed to always be in a good mood. I feel you had a sincere heart and a genuine smile. I pray you're at peace, and pray for your mother here on Earth. Rest peacefully Michael, -Ana.
