I read this very slowly, Hamzah. I held my phone as reverently as I could with my two hands. And I was fortunate enough to be looking out at the ocean in all of its expanse and depth while doing so - perfect for your deeply thought sentiments about Mike, and life. I have fond memories of his quiet, thoughtful way. Thank you for sharing as you have here, my friend.
You are grappling with life’s most essential question, “What is life if not unpredictable change?” Yet, the rich fertile soil left by those who have returned to dust is precisely that from which new life is born.
It’s never easy to lose someone close to you and especially so suddenly. You beautifully captured how one can find fortitude and peace in nature, in God’s Creation, because we are made of it and ultimately return to Him. Mike was a wonderful, kind and patient person. May God ease your pain and help you through this difficult time. ❤️

Thank you so much for reaching out, Rick. Mike really was a remarkable man, and it still hard to believe that he is gone.
