Baby Michael

1981

Born into Gratitude

I came into this world in 1981, one of four kids, with three incredible sisters and two of the hardest-working parents you could imagine. Our home was filled with love, laughter and the occasional sibling chaos. My parents worked tirelessly to give us a good life, and even when things were tight, I never felt like we lacked a thing. I’ve always felt truly lucky to come from a family like mine.

Instead of pushing away the inevitable or pretending that time is limitless,

I’ve started to embrace the reality that life is finite and that’s exactly what gives it meaning.
