Missing Mikey

Mikey and I had a very close relationship. Some would say to close some would say not close enough, I say it was what it is suppose to be. I would say this is a very hard time for me. Trying to put together the dedication, pre-paring for it’s almost been a year since Chris, Sherri, Cody and I found Mikey. I know it is hard on them too. I see that night very often in my head, I go over the days leading up to that night and wonder what I could of or should of done. But I do believe that when we have done what we are suppose to do we move on. Mikey to me didn’t finish what he was here to teach us I feel he had so much more for us to learn from him but then I think he did give us his all. He tried to help, share, love, teach and enjoy everything and everyone he came in contact with. The anxiety for me at this time of year is Mikey and I have only been a part once on my birthday in his life. Last year at my birthday he was out working merch for Cody/Chris to make money. He asked if I wanted to come out to meet them. We had never been a part on our birthdays since he was born. We talked about me moving in a year or so and there will be times he won’t be able to come or I won’t be able to meet up with him so we decided I would stay home. Now I feel that was a bad decision if we only knew what was coming. At Mikey last birthday we had the celebration at 1st ave. Which wasn’t so bad I was busy and lots of family, friends and fans where there. This year I’m not sure what to do. In some ways I want to just crawl in a hole and wait it out but I know that never works to run and hide. I don’t know what to do that day or either day but a few friends want to go for happy hour so that I’ll do. Life looks different now and it always will but I find a little peace knowing Mikey is still around me, he still gives me signs like he voice is quite when I’m on the right path and it gets loud when I’m not, the rain of course, little tricks he always liked to tease me, the out pour of love from his fans most of you have never even met me. It’s still not what I would choose to have but sometimes we have to take what we can get. I’ll take Mikey any way I can. I miss him so much that somedays the pain is more than I can take than other days it’s only pain but it is always with me. Thank everyone for the support and the venting. All my Love Kathy

    There are no words anyone else can say that can make the hurt stop, I know exactly how you feel. The special days are so hard and they wear on you if you dwell on it. Take a trip, go somewhere new, traveling is the best medicine.

    For me, Mikey’s songs are part of finding my inner peace to get through the pain of losing someone close to me. Thank you for everything you did/have done to make it all possible, from the bottom of my heart. I know the words of fans are no replacement, but he lives on inside all of us.

      Thanks for the suggestions. I do appreciate the kind words. It does help with some many people influenced by Mikey and knowing that he will go on in his music and voice for generations to come. I am glad that his music has helped so many get through tough times but for me I’m not ready to hear his voice so strong and vivid threw his recent music. i do once in awhile listen to the Grans Sixth Sense. He was young and swore a lot it was the first time he could. Love Kathy

    Kathy..you’re so strong and amazing..Mikey wouldn’t have became who he was if he didn’t have you..and you know how powerful he was and still is. I love this site because its comforting..I wish it didn’t have to be a site about memories, but to know that this exists makes me feel like Mikey isn’t really gone or atleast there’s something or somewhere I can go to buy things of him and know that the money is going towards him. Most times I feel the same way about a lot of the things in my life and whenever I read about how you are finding your peace..it helps me find mine too. Last night my boyfriend just surprised me with the news that he had already ordered “himselves” and I couldn’t be more excited and happy. He didn’t want to tell me but he knows how much I love Mikey. The clue was to look at the TV which had a bunch of cartoon eyes showing at the moment..and I said..EYE? DEA?!!?! his BOOK? This will be my third one and I still need to get the first one. Take care of yourself and always know that you’re not alone. I love you.

      Thank you, you are very kind. I’m glad that I can still share him with all the wonderful people who believed in him. I get comfort in knowing that I can still pass on his words, feelings, and compassion. Love Kathy

    Is there any chance to “reveal” what Mikey used to read? What types of books, writers..

    And thank you for everything Kathy. You’re such a wonderful person.

      I have put together this summer the books, cds, movies, albums, tapes that Mikey had at his apartment and the one here in the studio so yes I will put on some more lists. I think I have put up a few things on the face books site, maybe even here. I will start trying once a week to get some things up. Love Kathy
