It's been a rough start of the year. Last night, after finishing up an ECHL game, we got news that one of our good friends lost his brother.
Rocket, our hearts go out to you. I am going to borrow your words as they are far superior to anything I may say.
He
was born May 15th 1957 at 3:50pm. The doctors told our Mom & Dad he
would not survive & they had an emergency Baptism for him on May
17th. In my Mother's distraught state she told the nurse the wrong name
-- He was suppose to be James Michael & he was officially Michael
James. He survived 6 months & then the doctors told my folks he
wouldn't function well, if at all after age 16. Well as always
he thumbed his nose at that prediction & 4 mos shy of his 55th
birthday at around 11:30am on Jan 28th, God invited Michael James Lachat
to heaven for a family get together with our Mom & Pop, aunts &
uncles, grandma & nana, grandfathers & great grandmother. I
will miss him everyday but know they're all having the time of their
lives breaking bread. I love you Mike.
You are a wonderful man, Joe.
