Goodbye, Drakey
Drake
When my brother, Mike Strassman died suddenly in July 2007, he left behind his beloved four-legged friend, Drake. Mike’s former wife, Jackie adopted Drake and they have been best buddies ever since. We had the chance to visit Jackie and Drake a few years ago at Jackie’s home in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains.
In a way, Drake’s passing also means that a bit of my brother has faded as well.
Mike and Drake, 2006
Farewell, Drakey. If there is a gathering place somewhere beyond, I am sure you and Mike are running, climbing and enjoying being together again.
