I have a hard time with my words to come together , but just some things that remind me of Michelle, Lindt dark chocolate, her love of golf and her stories of telling me how she was a once a sharp shooter at pool. our pedicures we would get together and bond, her favorite colour to get would be like a burgundy redish like a deep rose colour, and how one time i convinced her to get her nails done a royal blue and her second smallest toe a silver the colours were so deferent then her own tastes, but she just loved it and went and got the same colours again the next time we went. She was really good at wrapping presents and always made custom bow ties out of old cards which made it extra special to me. i remember how people always got our names mixed up even my dad would call me and say Michelle Mich, Melissa! The doctor at the hospital at the time of the passing did the same thing after i introduced myself and when he went back to talk to me dad about Michelle he proceeded to say Melissa MM Michelle, which made me chuckle in that moment of hard times , but sad now to think that might be that last time i ever hear that. I remember when i was 9, Michelle took me to polo park mall and made me buy my first training bra! I didnt like her making me get that at the time bc i wasnt ready to become a women yet and though it was weird to wear a bra! I got to go to her home town one time with her as a kid in Flin Flon and she put me in a golf training course and i picked up tips that is till remember today and how i would stay up till 3am every night there bc there was a tv in the room i was staying in watching all the old game shows on the game show network. I was young when my dad and Michelle first met and i can admit i didnt take to her at first i didnt want or need another Mom, then becoming a relentless teenager and there was so much family drama for many years i almost resented Michelle. Mad at the world and anyone that would tell me no or get in my way. Once i found my path and understanding of the world i started to let go of all the ill feelings i had and still to this day try to be positive and not let anger get the best of me, I hope she can forgive me for the way i was and my attitude in my adolescent years. Once my children were born is when i really started my bond with Michelle the love for my children made me love her even more. We would go for our pedicures and just talk about life probably even shared some secrets with her that no one else would know. she would even start sticking up for me against my Dad! i wish i would of yelled hi to her more in the past year, when i would pop in to see my dad but i know she knew she was cared about and loved. It was hard to see you in the hospital gone, but i will remember you as having the most angelic skin like a porcelain doll it was perfect. Thank you for being my dads best friend and i hope your resting in peace Michelle - Love Melissa
