0 responses 0 comments Michele is, first of all, an amazing mother. In her circumstances, this means being an amazing, strong, never-say-never kind of woman.
In the years that I have known Michele, her drive in regards to her daughter and her daughter’s well-being is beyond phenomenal.
Michele has been blessed with a wonderful daughter named Kayla. Or maybe it would be better to say that Kayla is blessed with a wonderful mom named Michele.
Kayla is a very spunky young lady who has required some very special care almost all of her life. Michele has to work at Kayla’s care 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure that Kayla has the necessary attention to keep going in this world. There are no days off for Michele. Kayla’s care is that critical.
From doctor’s visits, outings on sunny days, smiles and cheerful words, hugs or just a fun story at bedtime, Michele puts her entire being into Kayla’s care.
Everything else in the world comes in second place. Or third. I don’t know how Michele does it, but you never hear a cross word from her about Kayla or how hard it is to keep going when a day is long or when sleepless nights come along or when an emergency run to the doctor is necessary or when any on of a hundred other scenarios that most moms can’t even begin to imagine actually occur.
I have never known a woman so intent on her child’s well-being. Michele is so totally dedicated to sharing the world with her child and providing every moment of happiness that can come Kyala’s way. Michele has sacrificed and given so much for Kayla that I really cannot put it into words.
Tehachapi is lucky to have a woman of Michele’s caliber and strength as a resident. If that is not enough, Michele has incredible skills in the photography world. Luckily, Tehachapi residents are able to take in some of her talent in the Tehachapi News, along with some local galleries and art shows.
Kayla, of course, is an integral part of Michele’s photo inspiration. Michele would have it no other way.
When you ask Michele how she does it, she simply says, “It’s all about love. Love gets you through anything.”
