| "On a quiet September night our seventeen-year-old son, Mike, got into his cherished yellow '68 Mustang, his heart broken after a sudden ending of his first romance. His girlfriend had told him she was going to get engaged to someone else. Sitting in the care he had so lovingly restored and treasured, Mike shot and killed himself. In the note he left, he wrote : 'I wish I could have learned how to hate....Don't blame yourselves, Mom and Dad. I love you.' His note ended, 'Love, Mike, 11:45 PM.' At 11:52 PM that night, we and Mike's older brother, Vic, pulled into the driveway alongside Mike's car - seven minutes too late! - excerpt from "I'll Always Be With You" Written by Dale and Dar Emme, Mike's parents. |
