Memories of Michael: I Used to Feel This Way A Lot (~1990)
Still do, sometimes.
Still do, sometimes.
Mike would frequently hit his head and bite his hand. He was never violent to anyone else. One doc thought he had Tourette’s Syndrome and that these actions were not behaviors, but rather “complex motor tics”.
I never thought Mike had deep emotions. This picture tells a different story.
I wish I could find a good print of this picture (I had to take this one from my book). Mom and Dad still found time to smell the roses. (Reference the picture from 40 years before.)
I think this photo and the one I posted a week or so ago, are appropriate bookends, characterizing Mike’s life.
