Part 9/11:
Reflecting on Loss and Friendship
A poignant moment arrives when Mike recounts the passing of a close friend he’s known since the 1980s. They shared a strong bond through work, installing marble, and forged memories over decades. The friend’s recent death, likely caused by the ongoing pandemic or health issues, hits hard, especially as they were both vibrant and strong in their younger days.
He shares that his friend’s son sent him a screenshot of his dad watching Mike’s videos, a touching reminder of the impact and connection that content can foster, even across generations. This moment highlights the importance of community, friendship, and the small yet meaningful ways people stay connected.
