Welcome home Michael!!

My little brother Michael has finally come home! He served honorably in the North Carolina Charlotte mission. He has grown spiritually so much since he left 2 years ago. He looks the same but he does seem to be more mature. It is so good to have him home with us. We always felt like something was missing while he was gone. Mike has been the best little brother you could ask for. He is always positive and happy and he has such a great love for everyone. I really look up to him so much in many ways. And when I am down, he always would try to cheer me up. Even if it takes bringing one of my parents cats to me. He has touched so many people out there and changed many people's lives. We are all SO proud of him. I love you Mike!
