January 29 2006... I got the most touching e-mail I have had in a long time! From one of Michael's friends from Youth Front ..... Just wanted to say hello again. I know it has been a while since my last e-mail. I checked in on Mike's website again the other day and looked at some of the new links. I wanted to e-mail, but looking at the site made me start crying and I didn't want to e-mail on that note. In any case, it was really encouraging to me to see some of the drawings you've done recently. You definitely have a gift!! To answer your questions, I've been married almost 4 years now. Our 4th anniversary will be March 3. We were dating when Michel got sick. I wish he would have been able to be at our wedding. I am sure he would have made things very lively at the reception, as he always seemed to!! ..................... I have to tell you, (as odd as this may sound), but on the day of Michael's memorial service, you looked so beautiful. I remember your smile through your tears, and thinking to myself, that I hope if I ever have to go through a tragedy like you have, that I could handle it with as much grace as you. I don't even really know how to describe it, but it was as if you could almost literally see the presence of God and his grace surrounding you. It was truly beautiful. I think that's what made me realize that everything was going to be okay, that although I didn't and still don't really know you that well, or any of Mike's other family members, it was like God was just telling me that no matter how painful it would be for different people, everyone was going to make it through. And then I just remember picturing Mike in heaven, making all the angels laugh with his personality and smile! I really felt like Michael was celebrated that day. It was very bittersweet. Well, here I am starting to tear up now thinking about him!! I should probably wrap this up, but I just wanted to say hello again and I hope to see more of your artwork on the site. God Bless, Natasha Back to Trail of Tears
