If you could truly articulate the definition of life; it would be Mikey. There are so many individual instances from childhood that Mikey is a core of, and it's now that I truly realize how special he really is. From putting a fellow scout's underwear in the Canadian Flag during flag break and putting maple syrup into his sisters shampoos at camp, to doing the army crawl at midnight with the entire scout troop to put icing onto another scouters windshield (and hiding the power washer) .. the mischief and laughter that Mikey brought to each camp will echo through the trees for the rest of eternity. Mikey was so insightful and loving, and even though he loved to give Ayla and Cara a hard time with the relentless pranks.. it was truly because he loves them and they love him back. I am forever grateful for the laughter, mischief, and adventures that were shared throughout my childhood thanks to Mikey. So many diary entries with your name in them... its hard to count. One Christmas Camp, around 2006, he used my brand new MP3 player to record "Mikeys Corner" on the top bunk of our cabin, a funny talk show that mikey hosted where he would interview the kids in the cabin and recite jokes he had written during the camp, it had us roaring with laughter in our bunks. I remember how much my stomach hurt after eating oatmeal for breakfast that morning. God how i would give anything to find that damn MP3 player. Around 2008, he liked to tease me that our leader, Scouter Ted, and my mom (scouter Mom) would get married and would say "Scouter Ted is gonna be your stepdad!!" .. and.. he was right. Damn it, Mikey!! You were right!! I don't know how the fuck Mikey called it over 10 years before they got married but he did. Mikey knew.
This picture was taken christmas, probably 2007, and i remember that when we fell asleep that night, we woke up with toothpaste in our shoes and lining the ladder of the bunks. thanks for that, mikey!
This is a deep and heavy loss that has made the world a lot quieter, but the sky so much brighter. Thank you for the adventures, memories, and laughter, Mikey. You were a great big moose. Forever our boy scout.
Edit PS: i just remembered. every hike or camping trip, a moment from a winter camp pops into my head where Mikey said passionately: "i can never shit at camp. I usually hold it until i'm home, because pooping in an outhouse SUCKS!" Thanks for that core memory, Mikey.
