Hello, friends. It’s been a while. Thank you to Jessy, Todd, Dave and others for sending the messages that let me know of Miqque’s passing. I read the news in my kitchen as we were cleaning up from dinner on Friday night and just wept. It’s hard to believe I won’t chat with him again on this side of eternity.
Miqque just seemed invincible. No matter how much physical health and circumstances beat him down and crippled him, it just couldn’t seem to beat him. Cancer, back problems, homelessness… that shit didn’t stand a chance against Miqque. He fucked it up with a smile, kept on rolling and taking care of others with his words. Whenever I see a long, rambling, multiple paragraph post somewhere, I can’t help but think of Miqque and the jokes about how he must have broke into his stash. I can’t help but feel, like a true Jedi, Miqque didn’t die but just became stronger. I hope his digital Force Ghost inhabits all the online communities he loved.
One thing Miqque and I did share was faith in Christ. He and I chatted several times about our struggles with our faith and how we knew the true expression of it was not to beat others down but to lift them up and help them no matter who they were or what their circumstance. So while I know that there will be a Miqque shaped hole in mine and others lives, it does comfort me to know that he is now at rest with no more of the pain or suffering that this world seemed to liberally dole out to him.
Lots of love to you all, my brothers and sisters. May we all carry pieces of Miqque in our hearts and minds.
