TRIBUTE TO GREAT MEN 
Its happened again. Death once again strikes close to my heart. when i was a CNA it was a joy to be with my patients but a burden to see the ones who were never going to see another sunrise. Ive always told my wife that death haunts me. I saw its presence every day. i finally quit that profession to get away from it. Ive been at peace even though the nightmares never leave me alone. I met Micheal Cook when i was just his daughters goofy friend. my first impression was that he was a guy i could relate to. i admit i was a bit jealous of my close friend for having such an awesome dad. I grew up with no father and not much of a mother so you can see why i was jealous. He was full of life and ready to laugh at even the lamest of jokes. I turned from goofy friend to goofy boyfriend in may of 2004. her family turned out to be just what i was looking for. accepting and fun were 2 words that describe them. the relationship turned serious and soon we were married. I can honestly say that mike turned out to be a father figure to me. now that i think about it im not sure i even told him that. this thought will haunt me to my grave but getting it off my chest helps for now. I was raised by my grandparents but always wished for a good father. ive told erin many times that she should thak god for good parents because some people dont. one side affect of my CNA job was that fact that i learned to supress my emotion. i just hope that my new family understands that im torn up inside and apologise if ive offended anyone in the past. sorry if i have been rambling but that is a blog for ya. i hope that ppl get out of this message what i want cause i dought i could speak it out loud. I just hope that i can tell my daughter Cierra Rose Michelle McDonald about her grandpa in a way that brings honor to his spirit.
My Uncle Dick was the kind of guy that made you laugh no matter what. he was kind souled and full of laughter. Even though i didnt see him all that often i found that he generally loved life. i couldnt help but like him. now that he is gone i wish i could have been closer. Even though i didnt see him that often his death struck me. i remember his smile and his laugh and the fact that he wasnt afraid to give ppl his opinion, i respected him for it. i learned that sometimes your opinions can change the course of your life and sometimes was nessicary to speak out loud. i will miss him always but will always keep him close to my heart.
IN MEMORIUM
