Family is key!!!

Michelle Longo-Bloom


TO MY PARENTS:

Where would I be, what would I do
if not for the two of you?
With the love in your hearts,
and your all giving parts,
a rule you chose to abide,
and always be by my side.
I know it is said,
that's just what parents do,
but nobody does it
BETTER than you!
Where would I be, what would I do,
if not for the two of you?

All my Love,
Michelle
