Thank you all so much for your kind posts about my godfather Michael... I will be honest - I've never quite felt this level of devastation. I find myself just tearing up at the slightest thing. Thankfully, I've been able to speak with 2 of my god-sisters, and my godmother Patty... It is so hard to think that this person who has been this light in my life for 37 years isn't playing that role anymore.... But, I have to believe (for private reasons right now) that he is stepping into a guardian angel role now. Even with my grandmother's death, it was expected. Somehow, this one - not so much.... I just feel so damn sad and angry... I've finished a bottle of Toasted Head already today. BUT... here is a great picture of him, which somehow epitomizes him... in so many ways. And I love it. I've ordered it in multiple sizes and color / b&w.... He is on a mission... But if his girls were in the picture, he'd be going the other way... I love you Michael. And I'll celebrate you forever (as well as this weekend and in July).

Still grieving... and laughing

Thanks for sharing stories about your godfather. The memories you have are the best way to hold him near you. :) Great photo!
Great photo, Sarah. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh Sarah, I am so sorry for your loss. When I saw the title of your post I thought I had written it! I have been so engulfed in my own grief with my Dad and Brother-in-Law, I had not seen your posts from the past few days.
My heart breaks for you because I am feeling what you are feeling right now. Please know that I will keep your Godfather and the whole family in my thoughts and prayers.
That is a classic photo! I lost my mom 7 years ago and sometimes it seems like yesterday. Just know that he is in a much better place.
great photo..thinking of you xo
What a wonderful photograph. I am so sorry to hear about your Godfather's passing. You are in my prayers.
Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss...That is a rally cute photo and one of many wonderful memories you have. I'll say a prayer for you tonight!
Keep the memories coming - and the tears when you need to. They honor him and then we all get to hear about the wonderful man he was. I wish you nothing but peace in your heart...and it will come in time. Be well sweet stuff.
Give in to your grief...it will help. Great photo and he must of been an amazing man to have meant so much to you. Glad to hear your are not beating yourself up over the eating...take care during this time

Love that photo....hang in there...he sounds like a great man and will be greatly missed.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss :-(
Great Photo!
I am so happy that you have these great memories of him. My father has been gone 7 years now and the memories keep him alive in my mind forever... It is our legacy that goes on, and he sounds like he had a great one. I am so sorry that you had to lose the chance to make more new memories with him, he sounds like an amazing man. *Maria*-blogger from "This one time at "Band" Camp."
That is such an amazing picture of remembrance and brought tears to my eyes. I love it and hope it brings some peace to you soon.
I am very sorry for your loss...one of my very closest friends lost her mother a week ago and she said something beautiful - She's not gone, she's always everywhere now. So is your godfather.
I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this. It's so hard to lose someone you love. :(
I'm just getting caught up on blogs and wanted to express my sympathy at the loss of your godfather. I am lucky enough to live right on the MD line so crabs are a big part of my summer. I agree that they are a wonderful thing. I'm glad you could manage to have a bit of relaxation in the midst of your tough time.
