Remembrances

I remember how we all called Mike "Husky" because he was such an exuberant, playful puppy of a man.
We were friends in college, but we reconnected in a big way online just a few years ago when we discovered that we had almost identical taste in movies. I remember a night last summer when my notifications started blowing up like nobody's business; it was because I'd tweeted about how Godzilla: King of Monsters had blown my mind, and Mike saw it and had a similar reaction, and he had to talk about it RIGHT NOW to someone else who felt the same way.
I don't know if he ever saw Godzilla vs. Kong. Or what he thought about it. I wish we could have geek's out one last time.
Rest in peace, Mike. I'll think of you every time I watch a Mike Flanagan movie, and I know that's just how you'd want it.

More of cataloging than a remembrance: All of the interests and hobbies which have directed my life, the ones that are a part of who I am not just what I do, are things that can be traced back to Mike. What music would I love if he had not come home with a Five Iron Frenzy T-Shirt? What would my hobbies be if he had not started rolling d20s with me on a road trip?
Who would I be if Mike had not joined a rowing team? That choice has defined my entire life.
This feels like being on a swing and realizing the person who gave you the first push is just…....gone.
