Death is more universal than life...everyone dies... but not everyone lives. A. Sachs Well since I'm the 'Family Photo Keeper'...I know my father would have us remember him through his favorite times of this lifetime.
So I have created this memory page for family and friends, to remember Michael Carl Forrest, Husband, Father, Brother and Friend....
Mike was born on September 1, 1946 and made the choice to leave on January 29, 2011.
He was 64 years old.
I Love You Dad! I'm gonna miss my bestest fishing buddy! I was thinking the other day when I was 5 on Nogurea street, how i would stick my bare feet in your back jeans pocket....and down the stream we'de go...we've Always had the fishing!
No formal memorial will be held, only a small, family and close friends gathering.

An Angel whispered
take my hand and
come with me
you're work here is done.
I went away to a place
where there's no tears, nor sorrow
only laughter and smiles,
there will always be a Tomorrow.
As I move amongst the clouds.
I'll look down and smile upon you,
while the angels
sing a heavenly song.
I am not alone
all who went before
are here
they awaited my return.
I know you'll grieve
and wish I was still here
I am here in the memories
you hold dear.
Remember how much I
love you
and know I took your
love with me.
I did not wish for
you to cry, nor feel sad.
My pain is gone and
I am Free!
Soon you'll come to me
until then
God will be with you
Just as He's with me.

Whoulda Thunk It? |
November 16, 2018 |
Hey Pop!
Well, on December 22, 2018 I am starting my first Suicide Loss, Healing and Empowerment Peer to Peer Support Group.
Someone recently accused me of holding onto your death and suicide....and why would I waste my time working with other survivors to help them navigate their way through healing...and that anyone who kills themselves are sinners and sleep until jesus christ returns to judge them....and that any survivors should just buck up and get over it...
Good thing I am not about to abandon myself, my healing and all the other Souls that I am going to be able to assist in their journey of healing.
I think it is very sad that this person felt like personally attacking me in the most hateful way...just to make themselves feel better.
No one can ever take away from my experiences of our relationship since you left and tell me that they are not real....or that when you visit me in Dreamtime...that it is actually demons masquerading as you...Really?
I have had overwhelming support from so many...I must not let this one narrow-minded and hateful person to crush my dreams of helping others.
I Love You Pop and I miss you very much.
Love, Laura

A Good Man for Many Reasons |
March 10, 2011 |
Thank you for the space to leave these few words about a man I understood with very few words. Mike was always interesting, always had his own slant on how things are. He felt the need to be productive and that work had a place and a reason. He always did his best for us, and for those who came to depend on him. He always got a kick out of listening to me talk with the various people who made their way into our little corner of the world. I always got a kick out of how he would put his own twist on expressions.
What I do know is that he gave his all, and all he gave had meaning Thanks, Mike, for being part of our lives.
