Mike,
It's been awhile since I've stopped in to write, but I do stop in every day to check your site and I visit others. Today your Mom and I were out at the cemetery and one of us usually comments about having to go to the cemetery to visit our son. I think of you every day, sometimes most of the day. People who have lost a child understand, those that haven't I hope they never have to deal with the pain and loss. Not much new at this end. Your sons are growing like weeds. We took Malik to dinner with us one night and when it came time to leave, we stood up and a little old lady sitting in the booth next too us spoke up with, "Oh my, how tall are you?" He answered her, "6 foot 5 inches." I'm sure he will grow even more. Cullen is growing too. He is always worried about if he is going to grow and we told him that you didn't start until about freshman year of high school and you shot up, that's what is happening with him right now. Continue to watch over everyone for me. We all miss you every day. I'll be back soon.

Love,
Dad

Mike, Wishing you a Happy Father's Day and thinking back when you were here and how much your children meant to you. I'm glad you got to be a Dad even though it was for a short time.

Cullen is leaving for summer camp today for two weeks and Malik may get his driver's license soon (a scary thought). Watch over them and your daughter and guide them to make good choices in life.

Love you always.

Mike, Cullen graduated from grammar school tonight. As I saw him enter with the other graduates I started to tear up because you should have been there to see him. It was 25 years ago that you, yourself graduated.

Right after graduation Cullen got into your brother Bob's van and they are now on thier way to Florida with the rest of Bob's family - make sure they get there safely and have a nice time. Oh, by the way, Bob and your son are the only men in the group - this should be interesting.

Keep watch over your children and the rest of us. You are loved and missed everyday.

Remembering you on this Mothers Day and your family. We have so many blessed and treasured memories we hold so dear and close to our hearts. One day we will get to see their smiling face and hold them in our arms once again. Until then we are blessed to still have our other children to share this special day with and to make new memories with them. Just wanted to let you know your in my prayers today.

Mike,

We were at the CPD Memorial Run today along with over 5,000 other people. Your brother John worked hard to make the run a success and has made sure that you and the other fallen officers are not forgotten.

Your son Cullen, nephews and niece all participated and we even got to meet some TV celebrities from the show Mike and Molly.

Met up with some guys from 11 and J.Martinez from the Academy.

Love & miss you everyday.

Mike, Wishing you a Merry Xmas in heaven - hope you are celebrating with family and friends who are also in heaven.

Did the usual Xmas Eve with the family and had our blue star twinkling in the front window - hope you saw it knowing we were all thinking of you.

Went to the cemetery last night after everyone left. I'm sure some people would think this strange but it is comforting to your Dad and I. Doesn't seen creepy to us, in fact we find it calming and feel closer to you.

Love and miss you forever.

Michael,
It's quiet now and before everyone gets here, I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. The holiday just isn't the same anymore. It will be our 9th Christmas without you here with us. I always think back to that Christmas Eve in 2003, a lifetime ago and how you were here with us and you stayed until you had to go in to work the midnight shift. Hopefully, there is another place where you are celebrating this holiday with some of our family members that are with you and also some of your close friends. Love and miss you. Watch over everyone for me.

Love,
Dad

Happy Thanksgiving to you Mike. In a few more hours Mom will be putting a huge turkey into the oven. The biggest one she has ever made so far, but I know it will be great as always. Since we lost you we have all kinds of dark meat as it use to be you and Gram Gordon fighting over it. You two are now fighting over it in Heaven. No NHL hockey this year and last night I found a 1991 All Star Game on a cable channel. The Blackhawks had Chelios and Roenick playing. I remember what a big fan of Chelios you were and that you and your older brother would go to his bar to see if you could run into him. We all miss you and will be thinking about you all day, just like all the other days since you have been gone. Love and miss you.

Love,
Dad
