On November 23rd, 2010 I lost someone who was very dear to me. An amazing man named Micky Van Strickland. He endured a long and hard life. He was hard on himself but gentle with others. He had a heart bigger then anyone I knew. He enjoyed the simple things in life, his children, his pets and daily living. I will miss Micky. We were very good for one another the only problem between us was distance, and that was something neither of us could change for a few more years.
