This was after Michael came home late from a Rage Against the CRT tournament, I made us some mac and cheese and the costco rolls Michael liked so much.
This was thanksgiving, there was a fire in Jamul so we had to load up three pigs and move all the food. It ended up being a very happy holiday, with one very large piggy wanting to stay in the trunk of the car after being transported.
This was after Michael won the SoCal Arcadian. He was so excited, and played so well. Someone donated extra winnings to the pot so he won even more than he expected.
Michael was a truly meaningful presence in my life while we were growing up. I will always remember the kindness and empathy he displayed to me and everyone around us. I look back with so much warmth to memories of running around outside, playing silly games on our iPods, riding bikes, catching frogs, trading Pokemon, and all the goofy misadventures of children.
These moments forever hold a special place in my heart. My deepest condolences to family and close friends. Sending much love
Michael after building his own custom desk. It has like 7 ikea table legs attached and he ended up putting contact paper on the tabletop to make it look like wood.
