What Miquel means to me:
Miquel is the friend that when he asks how you are, he doesn’t accept the cursory “I’m fine”. He really wants to know how you are feeling and what’s going on in your world. He is filled with creative ideas and diverse brilliance that culminate in one of the most fascinating people I’ve had the privilege of working with. Miquel is the rarest of friends. He and I met at work 14.5 years ago, and he taught me so much. We understand each other in ways that others do not. Our professional relationship was always good, but it’s our real friendship that came out of that that has stood the test of time and distance. And for that, I am so extremely grateful. It’s too easy to get wrapped up in life these days and if someone isn’t in your day-to-day you let them slide. Miquel doesn’t do that. I’m so lucky to have him in my life.
