Mike.

I don't even have the words for how much I'll miss you.

I love you!!! You'll know where to find me if you ever need too.

Its like Mizahar's own Black Monday.

The day is much more bleak and gray, I must admit.

Thank you for being a loving dad. This is one of the saddest days in Mizahar indeed.

May you find happiness always, Mike!

I'm going to miss you so much Mike! You are such a great person and a humongous part of the site. You always made me feel like I was right up there with the awesome older writers whenever we talked. You never made me feel like a dorky little kid trying to play amongst adults and you have no idea how great that was for me. Thank you for everything and I hope things turn around for you. You deserve nothing but the very best <3

Since Mike is leaving Mizahar, I think I'm going to keep his Scrapbook alive just by periodically leaving little notes here or signs and funny things that I think he might like. That way, if he ever ventures online again, he can periodically see that he is missed. Plus, there's a lot of new folks on Mizahar daily and its sad they won't get to know him. I understand his decision and think its the right one because he made it and he made it for valid reasons. You can't have aspects of your life that no one else in your life that you love understands. And people aren't words... they are far more important than simple words and flights of fantasy and worlds that aren't real. I understand that... I know that... I fully acknowledge that. But we had Mike for a while, and that's what counts... and that's what I'm thankful for. How can I feel any other way?

I just finished a book called A Tapestry of Lions. I'm in awe slightly of it because it was the end of an eight book saga and one of the best epic stories I've ever read. A man spent his whole life afraid of the Lion only to learn that he was the lion that was going to devour the world and all of his land and the people in it. I think you should read the entire saga, Mike. You'd really love it. It's by Jennifer Roberson and its called The Chronicles of the Cheysuli.

I really like this idea. A memorial of sorts, but a happy one. I am going to join you in this Jen, because Mike IS awesome and can be all of our little invisible friend

I bet we could get Mike the extreme scrapbooking award if we tried hard enough.

Mike, you've always been somebody I looked up to, both as a writer and a person, and you will be dearly missed.

Thank you, and good luck.

Abashai, you are a legend of Mizahar. You were the first Benshira and created a wonderful, memorable character who will not soon be forgotten. I am saddened that I never had the opportunity to write with you, but it's a happy thing to know that every player who joins the Benshira will be walking a path you helped pave. Thank you for all you've contributed to Miz, and best of luck to you in your life and your marriage.

Mahim!

Late as I might be to this I've got to say something. I'll miss you Mike, you were always a giggle in chat and I loved stalking your threads. Hell when I first wandered onto the site all lost and confused you patiently sat there answering my many foolish questions, and if you didn't know the answer you pointed me in the direction where I could find one.

I've got to say I don't know if I'd have stuck around Miza without the easing into it all that you gave me.

Good luck with everything you do in the future Mike, I can only hope that you get things back on track in your life,

Take care of yourself,

Much Love,

Phil
