I hope you find comfort in knowing how much everyone cares. Good people are always remembered in a special way.

I was really blindsided by this news, & it has hit me hard. I just lost someone else, & had turned here for comfort--& hopefully a little distraction--only to be hit again. It really sent me reeling. Mike was so strong & supportive when you needed him to be. I know of this personally, as I turned to him more than once. This is just so hard to talk about for me still, & I find it so very surreal to talk of him in the past tense. I think it's still too soon for me. I'll come back here--and the other thread--later.

It is always very difficult to think or speak of someone in the past tense. And sometimes, even years later, when we speak of someone special that has gone, even then we sometimes speak of them as if they were still with us.
-
To all of Mike's beloved family and friends, please accept my deepest condolences and sympathies. You are in my prayers and thoughts every day.

It was a month ago today that our beloved (((Nutty))) passed away. May God rest his soul and watch over his family.

That doesn't seem possible.

A Journey Thru "Virtual" Grief. That is the journey I've been on these past several months. What I wrote in my post regarding the passing of Mike, was for real, I wasn't overdramatizing. Reading that Beatnut--Mike--had passed on had been an all too real shock for me; the news sending me reeling. I had convinced myself that "of course, Mike will recover--he's Beatnut after all". And the shock of reading he didn't, sent me running from this message board. I found I could not log back on for a very long time. It was actually too emotionally painful. I did not see it coming, this "virtual grief". I didn't think it was possible to feel such pain over someone I never actually met; hadn't so much as even heard his voice. I didn't want to "deal" at all. And I wasn't even sure it was entirely about just Mike. Was it more that he reminded me of a dear friend whose loss was still so painful? Both? I really don't know. And I don't know if it really matters. All I know is that at the beginning, when I first "met" Mike, we were more often than not, at loggerheads regarding most issues. Yet over time, we slowly developed a kind of respect for each others' right to believe the way we did; and for each other. At least I'd like to think so. Mike, I miss your presence, your sense of humour, and your ability to challenge me to stand up both for my points of view, and myself. And in the end, that's not too bad a legacy to leave. At least I think so. Rest in peace, my friend.

I read through all the post and I'm so sad with tears, missing him. I think I'm going to plant a garden of all sorts of colors because Mike was such a colorful personality and I'm going to have a sign made saying; Notthattheresanythingwrongwiththat RIP BEATNUT I love you Mike.
