Memories of Michael: Mike with Head Bandaged (1992)
Memories of Michael: Baby Mike in Winter (~1950)
Memories of Michael: I Used to Feel This Way A Lot (~1990)
Still do, sometimes.
Memories of Michael: Mike Hitting Himself (1992)
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”.
Memories of Michael: Mike, Waiting for the Party (1992)
Memories of Michael: Emotional Mike (1992)
I never thought Mike had deep emotions. This picture tells a different story.
Memories of Michael: Mom and Dad 40 Years Later (~1992)
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.)
Memories of Michael: Mom and Dad with Hope (~1950)
Memories of Michael: Mike Alone – 40 Years Earlier (~1950)
I think this photo and the one I posted a week or so ago, are appropriate bookends, characterizing Mike’s life.
