I tried to post this earlier.  He and I shared a love of music.  Went to many concerts with he and his family.  I wish I had gotten to know him better.  My last memory is going to a Tool concert and being the oldest person in the mosh pit.

Let's go back to 1991, perhap…
1991, Sacramento, CA, USA
Let's go back to 1991, perhaps in September. Peggy and I were relaxing on our bed with Myles, who wasn't walking yet. Our bed at the time was ridiculously tall, having a huge box spring, to the point we used to joke about having to climb onto it through Herculean effort. This is only important because, all of the sudden, Myles just popped up on his hands and knees and crawled at mach speed for the edge. I didn't have much time because he was moving fast, but at the last possible second I squirmed over and caught his ankle as he went straight off the side. One of two ninja-like moments in my life, but you can imagine the next minute. I had no leverage so all I could do was hold him off the floor by his foot while Peggy went to fetch him to safety (after laughing in uproarious relief for a minute). Crazy kid; he didn't cry or freak out. I think he enjoyed dangling upside down, face only a foot from the floor, not that I could tell for sure because all I could see of him at that moment was his foot, but he didn't cry or squawk. Pretty funny. He was certainly happy when he was back on top of the bed. ~~~~~~ Fast forward now to one year ago today, perhaps even to the very minute as I post this, when I said good night to him for the last time. At that moment I didn't know it was going to be the last time, of course, nor did I know how badly I needed to grab onto his ankle again to save him. As a parent you want to believe you can do that, but it is not remotely always true. It has been a tough year, and I can't even believe it has BEEN a whole year. Wish I had words of wisdom for you all, but I don't. We've adopted a mantra of sorts that goes, "Rest easy, Myles" and there's even a hashtag for it. ~~~~~~ I will miss that kid forever. He gave us three full length pieces of music to enjoy, which you can find through #homtunes, but they're so good in their own quirky, "garage ambient" way that I feel kind of cheated out of the next one, which he'd started working on, and the next 8 or 9 that he had planned. I mean, I would give a lot just to hear whatever "White Pants" would have been -- kind of a response song to the best kind of inside joke! ~~~~~~ Good night, and thanks to everyone who has supported us over the last year, and lastly: #resteasymylesf -- I'm going to listen to some of your music, right now.

During my chat at the celebration I mentioned Myles not being afraid of approaching celebrities, musical ones, anyway. I scoured everywhere for this picture because I wanted it for the slide show! Think I finally found it on a random backup DVD! Myles and George from Cannibal Corpse. 2010 I think...

One of the things I mentioned at the celebration gathering was a band called Hatebreed, and how Myles just ran over to talk to them when he saw them trying to stealthily walk through the crowd near the merchandise tents. This shirt was from that show and hangs still in its place of honor. You can see he got them to sign his shirt, too. They were very cooperative, very friendly guys in general. ///no hate!///
