In Remembrance…
Micheal Wheeler was my best friend. For most of my life he was my neighbor, only a few steps away. He was the most loyal friend a person could ever ask for. Mike never did anything half-assed and lived his life with his whole heart to guide him. He was such a huge nerd, but that was one of his many charms. Mike wasn’t perfect but nobody is, and I wish he knew that. Through all his hardships and struggles I always did my best to show up for him, because when you love someone you don’t give up on them, no matter what. I loved him like a brother. All my life I’ll mourn the man he could’ve been, all the hopes and dreams he may have carried. The world has lost a great writer and a unique soul. And I’ve lost one of the greatest bestest friends I’ve ever had. But I’m going to soldier on, keep my head held high because I know that’s what he would want, for all us, the leader of our party. His campaign is at an end and there’s a story he can never tell but one I can. The story of Michael Wheeler, a life cut short yet a memory that lives on.
I love you Mike, rest easy man.
