Have you ever met an alien? Has Michael left Fanstory? Do tell. A brilliant and compassionate man as you have mentioned. We always lose the good ones. Continual moving on of members. We are a worldwide family and each one that leaves is sorely missed. Thanks for sharing.

A terrific write, Gloria. I really enjoyed reading your recollections of the funny stuff Mikey would come out with. His generosity of spirit put most of us... no wait, put me, to shame.

I think we can all say we are better for knowing him.

Good job,
Craig

Beautiful tribute. I wrote a short one, because he and I fell out of touch a few years back (don't know why). But we were fairly close for some time, and I considered him a friend. Still do.

There are so many new people coming in that we get pushed along by the line and go separate ways... same as you and I did. Good to see you're still here. I'm not going anywhere. I have nowhere to go. :)

I never knew Michael Cahill, as I just joined FS last week. But it's not hard to see how much he is missed. Your tribute brought tears to my eyes because it was so sincere. Thank you for sharing this well-written piece.

Hi Gloria,

This is a very nice tribute to your friend and fellow poet, Mike. We only reviewed a couple of each others' poems, so I didn't know him well, but I do know that he was held in high regard by those who were fortunate to get to know him, and that he will be greatly missed. It's always sad when we lose a Fanstorian.

Very nicely written. A big hug to you for losing a dear friend.

Hugs,
Connie

Yes Connie it is always sad, and it does happen. It's the saddest I find when members just vanish without a word. Much appreciation to you always. :))

This was an amazing tribute to an exemplary man and writer. He will be missed by all, no doubt, but your writing will stand as a bright testimony to his dedication and friendship here on FanStory, for all of us.

This writing is clean and concise. Your testimony of the craft, an impassioned writer, AND the gift be shared with each of us was penned with skillful ease. Thank you for sharing with us today.

He will be missed.
Janelle

Thanks so much for this beautiful tribute and precious memories about Mike. I didn't really know him other than read a poem or two of his. So you are blessed that you had his friendship.
