What a wonderful tribute to your dear, dear friend. A beautiful way to keep his memory alive. Someone I never knew, but so admire his spirit. These life-long friendships such as yours and Mugsy’s color our world and fill our lives with beauty. Thanks for the heads up about the Dystopia Tonight podcast. Will be listening and praying for great success.
Wow…so beautifully articulated !!! And just watching from the outside you guys had something wonderful . When I say guys I mean the circle of you. I always love to be warmed by the fire you guys made. It was love
Sigh … I have/had such besties. I have seen one die a horrible sudden death in 2010 I have shared with you before in various details. Anyone close to me for very long know or hear me reference “Lori.” That wound lasted a good decade until a similar bestie was found - although I had know the new bestie for a good 14 years prior. Since 2019 and especially 2020 on … my newer bestie and I are close friends.
I think such close men/women friendships (or potentially others where there could be a romantic attachment but never closed the line) are special in their own regard. There is often emotional intimacy that is unlike others, because there are not the daily toils that fray active romantic relationships. I assume you had a similar bond with Michael/Mugsy.
I lost an anchor/safe harbor when Lori died and we were only close friends for 13 years. I cannot imagine how deep the wound is after so many decades. Probably “Beaches” is a movie to be avoided for several years at least. But I am glad you shared Mugsy’s story … the whole arch of his amazing life and his meaning to you. I cherished every word and will listen to the audio to hear your voice speak of him. That too will carry affection I’m sure.
I don’t have any profound words … other than I definitely get it to some degree. Maybe only a degree of 13 years. ❤️
Bless your heart.
