Michael was a 1st cousin. I am 10 years older. When I was 13 he was 3. I remember him riding around in the pickup while we irrigated crops. Such a long time ago. After they went to Rapod City, I went off to college, then I moved to Omaha. I wish we could have lived closer. I miss all my family. Michael, you did OK. I’ll see you all in heaven.
