CHRISTMAS VACATION……
Michael and his siblings came over to my house to sit for the paining for their mother. I was able to get them done in a day. Then I painted backwards and got them from childhood to current ages. It was ready Christmas Eve for their mother and I made a lithograph of it so they could have their own small copies of the painting. We had a family dinner and Dina, Sharon and I were invited . Just before dinner was over Michael looked at Jackie and Marlon and then glanced at the rest of the family. He stood up and looked at me. Then got down on his knee. There were ooohhhs and aaaahhhhs in the room the room was completely silent.
Michael: Michelle Wilson, will you marry me? Will you be my wife? He had tears in his eyes
Michelle; Looking up at him. tears in my eyes. I…Yes!! Yes Michael!!! I love you!!! He put the engagement ring on my finger and kissed me tenderly held me in his arms.
Michael: I love you so much!! Kissing me again long and deep.
Katherine; Let the girl breath Michael!! There was laughter all around us
Michael and I only had eyes for each other at that moment in time.
Katherine came and congratualated us as did the rest of the family. We were so happy. Christmas morning They surprised their mother with the painting I had made. She loved it. Wanted to put over the fireplace. Then all the kids opened their gifts and it was beautiful. They were happily jumping up and down with every gift. Michael got me several beautiful gifts. I got him a watch. A nice suit. A new wallet. Aftershave cologne and then tickets to see Phantom of the Opera and Lionel Ritchie in concert. Soon everyone was opening the tubes I had gotten for them. When they opened them they were in shock. Michael’s sister looked at me.
Janet: How? What?
Tito: It’s a Lithograph!!! I am impressed. I definitely want to hire you to do some artwork for me. Michael. I am borrowing your fiancé. Wink!!
Rebbie: I really love it Michelle bless your heart!!
The family sat around with us and Michael sat on the floor with me with me sitting between his legs and I leaned back against him as we finished opening gifts and just talking and laughing. Dina and Sharon were over too for a while then Jackie and Marlon went with then to their families homes for Christmas celebrating.
