In Michael's memory

The hardest thing imaginable is losing a loved one. Losing a husband with two 5 year old children is somthing nobody should have to endure. Mike was such a vibrant, loving person. He had this innate ability to make any situation an opportunity to make somone laugh. He loved entertaining people and making it so that they enjoyed themselves. He had a gravitational pull "type of personality". He drew people into his orbit and would never let go. His heart was so big at times that he would put others before himself regardless of the personal loss he may have faced. Watching him with Mikey and Makayla was a true blessing. I would watch how Mikeys face would light up as soon as his dad walked in the room... and everytime Mike would brag about either of his kids he would have this HUGE grin on his face. Makayla was Mike's princess. At times (most times) he would exaggerate whatever it was that they were doing. He loved embelishing the truth at times but when it came to his kids he would speak this truth over his children because he believed it himself, and most importantly he believed his kids could achieve an ything. Chrissie, is enduring the aftermath of a horrific reality that happens way too often. Chrissie is picking up the pieces and deserves the help of many. She is one of the most selfless people i know, and we need to help her. She would never do somthing like this on her own but i am asking you to think about losing the person you love the most in life, and then tell your kids that they will never see their father again. This is hard enough as it is, adding the financial burden to the equation is crippling. Whether you knew mike or know chrissie... or know me. Please share this and donate if you can. However little or large, everything helps. In my BROTHERS memory, micheal hodupski rest in peace.
