I was So sad & shocked to hear about Michelle. I've known her since elementary school! She was one of the 1st friends I made when I moved to Florida in the 3rd grade! I remember going over to her house to hang out on several occasions, as well as some fun sleep-overs! (Or as we used to call them: slumber parties!)
This one time in particular, which I remember vividly, her sweet Yorkie had just had a litter of adorable puppies, and Michelle was SO excited & happy to introduce the puppies to me, & a few other friends! (I'm also an animal lover like her, so the memory of cuddling with & holding those sweet puppies, and the happiness it brought both Michelle & I, will always remain in my heart!🐾♥️)
Her mom was always very nice to me, as well. I'm sad to say that we grew apart between elementary school & our highschool years, and didn't maintain the close friendship we once shared during our younger years (as sometimes happens.) Moreso became acquaintances.
Funny, I've seen pictures or posts of her on Facebook over the years, and just recently thought about reaching out to say hello & ask her how she's been, but felt funny doing so after so many years had passed.
A tough lesson to all: if you are ever thinking of reaching out to someone, just DO it because you Never know if you'll be able to down the road.😢 Life is Very unpredictable, unfair, & cruel sometimes.
I will Always remember Michelle's kind, gentle soul, this warmth & caring about her which drew others in, and her bright smile!
Rest in peace Michelle. 🙏😢♥️
I will Never forget you, or the memories we shared!♥️💖♥️
