Mike

I miss Mike.

Mike was a 1st cousin of mine.

6 years older than me I looked up to him as my big brother.He always let me tag along with him treating me like a big guy.

He called me a few years ago.A long chat we had talking about our family and old times.

Never did he mention he had the Haynes family curse of cancer.Like so many in our family it seems like the big C would take him out.

It has struck my generation now with several cousins passing away from it.

I had a dream about Mike and cousins Fred and Frank,brothers, all have passed on.Mike and Fred the same age and Frank and me separated by a month in age.

For some reason they came for me and a trip we took in that dream.
