| How do I talk about Michael. This is one that is hard to talk about. Dear Michael. He died at the age of 42 on April 10 after a long battle. I'll always remember the night we first met. I'll remember how he changed my life with the War Conference. I'll remember the morning he turned to me to talk about his dream to have a World Summit for Children and then organized one four years later for Unicef where he worked as Executive Assistant to the President. To this day, it is the world's largest gathering of heads of states. I remember how he almost single handedly organized World AIDS day at the United Nations. This is someone who made a difference in the world. I'll remember his love for Shawn who died eight years prior to him passing. I'll remember the July 4ths on his deck in the Village. I'll remember the nights on Fire Island. I'll remember his sister and most of all, I'll remember how he made me feel loved. |
