an angel.

heaven gained one more angel last night.

my cousin michael got his wings a little too early.

his life may have been cut short here on earth,

but his days are endless up there.

and he will forever be in peace.

i can just see him entering the gates

with his big smile.

he has some great company up there.

my cousin amber wrote this, and could not have said it better:

I guess it never occurred to me, 

that last time that I saw you, that it just might be the last.... 

at least I can remember you wearing your smile 

and sharing your precious laugh. 
Surely I would have stayed a little longer, to talk with you that night, 

I would have said goodbye and hugged you with all my might. 
I hope your last days here 
were full of Love and things that made you smile. 

Maybe we'll meet again someday in another place & time.

we love you michael.
