This is a sketch of a photo I took wherein Mike is reaching out to take my hand. Mom, Dad and I were visiting Mike at his group home. During those times (in the late 1990s), I always took my camera.

Maybe I’m cherry picking the images in this retrospective, looking for evidence that Mike did indeed reach out to me during his lifetime. It is a comfort to think that he did.
