Little Michael. Why do I think so much of him?

Well guys, bear with me a moment why I share my feelings. Normally I use this blog as an opportunity to give humor, make political statements or just kid with two of my best friends. Tonight I'm in a different mood, a benevolent mood. See, the other day for no particular reason I had a flashback of that very pleasant day that I joined hundreds of caring people in St. Bernard, Ohio as they paid honor to Michael in dedicating a park in his name. Michael a avid soccer player and best friend to Molly through his life continues to give me inspiration in my life. What he shown me is that even in a short life you can leave a legacy of love and caring that will carry through others over a long period of time. Michael did that for many people that knew him. As time went on I had the pleasant experience of meeting the family, especially his mom Donna. Through it all, I must say we are blessed to have Michael in our presence and as Michael look down on us from heaven he is smiling and saying love each other, I'm fine!

I say all these things because last year I promised Sharon that I was going to do something for the family in honor of Michael. One thing if God continues to allow me to serve you will find out about me is that I keep my promise. Well, I have been involved with a band in which John Pennington, facilities worker for the Children's Home is part of the group. As I watch them practice and seen that they want to give of themselves for the community I spoke to them about doing a benefit. They immediately agreed and wanted to know when. Well Sharon, I'm in need of you to assist me in this venture if possible. First I would like for you to run it by the family. Secondly, see if we can have it at the Eagles. Third, find out the cost for rental and fourth look at dates based on availability. I know, I know this is not blog material but Stally with tears in his eyes want to help and couldn't find two better people to share my "Gift of Love" with this evening. If we can pull it off, all proceeds would go to the family. I never did a benefit like this so give me your thoughts. I include you Chels because you've been my inspiration over the last several years along with sister Walterman.
Give me your thoughts and Sharon give me your email just in case Chels and sneak in on you at Meiner's!
