This is a lovely post. The sincerity of your words shine through and are a credit to both Michael and yourself. If only everyone would take a little time to highlight the quality and achievements of others then this world would be a much more harmonious place for us all.

Simply lovely.

Oh Mary, I am so moved by this wonderful tribute you've written for Mikey -- In fact, it's freshened my sadness all over again. Kudos to you for your beautiful, poetic language too -- I bet his torch IS lighting up the heavens!!!

(Six stars, if only I had 'em!!!)

    Thank you, Dawn. Mikey was such an integral part of FanStory, its shocking to think he's gone. I appreciate your review!

I have already read quite a few of these entries in honor of Michael. It seems it has hit us hard. Death is so difficult to explain away.
Not that it really matters, but there's a typo: geni(o)us.
Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you, Maria. Some have that undeniable presence among us, and that was Michael. Thank you for the catch--I must have been trying to combine generous and genius when thinking of his contributions to FS..

Hi Mary,

This is a very nice tribute to Michael Cahill. He clearly made a very good impression on you. This is well written, and written from the heart.

I hope all is well with you and yours.

Hugs,
Connie

    Aw, Connie. I think of you often. I believe Michael only reviewed one of my stories, but his impact on FS and his writings were pure gold. I really got a kick out of him. Thank you and so good to hear from you. The Toddles keep me running and away from writing, but I'm loving my time with them--so fleeting...Take care my friend. XO

May Michael Cahill's torch light up the Heavens, and shine back to us through the stars.

Mary, that's a beautiful line. Lovely tribute. Mikey would love it.

I just noticed you need to edit this to make it chapter 6. It says prologue, and we already have a prologue.

    Thank you Phyllis. Out of desperation, I changed it to XO. It wouldn't submit with the preloaded #6 there. I will go see if I can edit.

    That's really strange.
reply by the author on 04-Feb-2019
    I just went back and changed it to 6, let me know if it is still a problem. I'm working from my phone too, which may have been part of the challenge.
reply by Phyllis Stewart on 04-Feb-2019
    Looks fine. Yes, might have been the phone.

Michael is missed. His writing was from the heart and never left you wondering where he stood on the issues. I haven't seen you for quite a while. I miss your fooooking stories.

    Thank you, Thomas. Absolutely. He was an asset to the planet. These Toddles are now twenty months old and running me like crazy. I hope to get back to writing someday...Brunhilda was last reported on a beach somewhere. She doesn't 'toddle' well. Take care!

Nice to see your name in my messages this morning :) You have been missed. I'm so grateful you post on facebook regularly so I can still selfishly enjoy your sense of style and humor. Especially of your adventures with the toddles.

There is a great big hole in this fanstory site with Michael passing away. He reached out to so many of us. He is missed.

Joy xx

    Thank you, Joy. Such sad news.

    It is nice to be missed. I keep trying to actively write again, but the Toddles are not making it possible! I hope you are doing better with your hip. It is no picnic getting older! XO
