but everytime Michael's name is mentioned, it seems to be prefaced with "adopted son." I've noticed this too. However, Michael addressed it directly. It has obviously been on his mind his whole life, as I imagine it would be for any adoptive child. And, I feel for him about it. He was very grateful, graceful and respectful toward his father. A wonderful eulogy.

As an adoptee myself, I can understand Michael's sensitivity on the subject. I thought Michael's eulogy was by far the most heartfelt of the three, and the great love he had for his dad came through. The sympathy he showed at the casket for his stepmom Nancy was very real and personal, and I was touched to see Ron step back and let Michael in.
