1 year ago, (4/29) morning, everyone woke up to the news of Mike Kay's passing. However, the family knew the truth; 11:11 pm 4/28 will forever be etched in our hearts.
Dad,
How has it already been 365 days?! I've needed you more than you can imagine over the past year. It has been the hardest year of my life, with attacks from every angle. Thankfully, your strength, determination, drive, stubbornness, fierce loyalty and love all made its way to me and I've had that to lean on.
What I wouldn't give for one more hug, bitch session, cribbage game, project or kick ass motivational speech. I'm trying to apply all the lessons you taught me; to tell the truth, hold firm to my beliefs, keep my cards and friends close yet my enemies closer, lean on God, uphold the family name and never give up...Kay's don't quit!
You left a legacy of love and a huge hole down here. I hope you're looking down and proud of where we're all at.
Spent some time reflecting over the year with you in the Rose Garden tonight
Enjoyed a shot in honor of you
Always down for a good time
