Mike is gone, and he's not coming back. It might be hard to break out of the fantasy world where Mike still rocks out with OLP, but it needs to be done. You can worship what he does when he does something else, but we don't need to hear how much Mike is missed. Yeah he was great, but notice the word WAS, he's gone now. So don't clutter up a post about Steve (you know, the guy who took Mike's spot, for those of you avoiding reality) about how Mike is better. The end.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
