Michelle, Mon Belle.

This is my friend Michelle. What a sweet friend she is to me. She recently let Mike and I use her place as a getaway. We had such a great time in her beautiful Ghent home.

Michelle is a friend I know I can trust. She's quick to lend her ear, to let me cry, and to encourage me in life. I am so grateful to know her. She's somebody I want to emulate in so many ways. I love her zest for life, her cooking skills, and her willingness to try new things, and to take every adventure she can get. She's well-traveled, well-read, and well thought of.

Michelle, thanks for letting me be a part of your life. You mean so much to me and are like the older sister I never had. Thank you for accepting me for who I am and for remaining my friend through good times and bad. I love you.
