Micheal to whom we have the most fondest memories.
. A little while back Mick and I ran into one another in the supermarket, such a beautiful hour and a half of laughter tears memories of our childhood and parents..
Knowing that we had the best childhood and the fondest memories of every single day..
It was a magical hour and a half. We parted that day with big cuddles and kisses… and such big smiles.. we could’ve stood in the supermarket a lot longer. But we both had things to do.. thank you Micheal those beautiful memories that we shared together..
