This is a great picture of Mikim, TexasDon, Jinman, Mikim's grandson, and yours truly.
Now I ask you, is that Mikim a hansome happy young man in this photo?
You bet he was. You see Mike, Don, and Jim were what I called the TBN's three musketeers. They had a special relationship and to be honest, I was a little, well, more than a little envious of it. And the reason Mike was so happy was because he was doing something for Jim.
Jim passed away six or seven weeks after this photo. Mike will be buried one year later, to the day.
My heart is heavy because of my loss. But my loss is nothing compared to my friend Don's. He's the last of TBN's three musketeers.
When I hear someone say something about the internet and the phony friendships etc I have to smile. You see some of my best experiences involved some of those internet friends, people like Jim, Mike, and Don. We built a bridge, a carport, a couple of neat gates and we installed an elevator. All of it because we could and it was fun.
Life is short. And some make it a lot more interesting because they love and do for all the right reasons, gonna miss you Mike Kennedy.
Harvey,
That photo was taken the day I met all Y'all. But Mike reached out to me way back when I was asking about cedar fence posts. Out of the blue he stated here on TBN.............I have some left over and your welcome to them! I really enjoyed that day (short as it was) getting to know Y'all and help build Mike's gate.
hugs, Brandi
