Thank you to all who came out and rode with me today on Mike's Ride, a day to honor our friends. We had beatiful weather, friends (both new and old) and wonderful stories were shared along the way. It was truly something special. And thank you to all who submitted stories and pictures of their friends. As you can see, I am posting these stories and pictures to the High Top Coaching blog and I will continue to do so as long as the wonderful friendship stories and photos come i

My mom. Gram of my four children. My best friend. She was always there for me and sacrificed everything to give me and my siblings all that she could. When my dad died way too early, she had never worked and didn't have any workable skills. She was a mom. And she could cook. But she didn't blink. She went out and cooked and worked her way up to restaurant manager. Crazy hard hours but no complaints ever. This is what one does. She worked hard for her three kids. We were poor

My best friend has to be my husband, Bill, or all the wonderful dogs in my life, most recently, Dante and Nico, who love me without reservation, constantly and consumingly! My puppies, not husband Bill, which does not take away from his best friend status. But still, my best friend has to be my cousin Cindy! Best friends since we were 3 years old. My mom left my dad in Puerto Rico, where I was born (I've always proudly told people I was Latino) and we moved in with Cindy, he

My BF Eric Cohen! We met in 4th grade in a small rural/country town in northwest NJ! We were always at the back of the lines because we were both always the tallest. Some years he was the last guy and, some years, I was the last guy for being the tallest! Interesting how schools put us in smallest to tallest! Fast forward to our high school years when we began hanging out non-stop and we became best friends. We both continued to get taller at the same exact pace...6'1" ente

It is too hard to decide on a best friend because I have two. My Dad, Carl Aley, and my younger brother, Austin Aley, have always been co-best friends. They have always been there for counsel, accountability but, more importantly, laughter. They are two gentleman of character and I look up to both of them as role models. They are clearly my "best friends." Forde Aley

​​1976 – I was a 16 year old in a new town. I knew no one and stayed around the house wondering why we had to move, new school, new people, why? After a few days of being miserable my mom urged me to check out a Youth Center in town. That night helped and changed my life. That evening a kid comes up to me out of the clear blue and says “You're new around here you want to hang out?” The next day I was at Jim’s house hanging out and being introduced to all his friends that quic

I would like you to meet Bill Hogan. We went to elementary school together. After elementary school our families moved to different towns in Massachusetts and we lost contact with each other. Twelve years later my sister married Ken Hogan, Bill's younger brother and this time we were reunited for life. Bill struggled with ALS for 16 years and lost the battle on July 14, 2014. The last 5 years of his life were tough to watch but Bill never complained, not even once. Although h

September 8, 1992, I met my best friend and I knew at that moment I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Not only is she my best friend but she is also my wife, confidant, motivator, counselor, cheerleader, housekeeper and mother to my children. From that day freshman year in college through the last 14 years of marriage we have enjoyed a strong friendship and marriage and have built a wonderful life for us and our two kids. We laugh, we eat, we tell stories and crea

This is my friend, Jill. Her 50th birthday was March 10th so I am celebrating her today! In 1994, when we moved from NY (where I had lived for 32 years of my life) to NC my biggest concern was finding sincere friendships. Relationships are one of my most cherished possessions...truly, in life, what else is there? When I met Jill at the church we visited she reached out with the warm Southern Hospitality I had heard of even though I was a Yankee. Our children were close in age
