Thankful For My Driven & Strong First Born, Marlena-AR Contest Day 4 by Silicon Valley REALTOR Michelle Carr Crowe 
On May 17th, 1987, I was given a gift from God in the form of an adorable bundle of joy with beautiful eyes and black (later light blonde) hair whom I named Marlena Michelle.
For 30 years, she has been my first born child and has paved the way for my youngest, as well as made all of us proud with her accomplishments. I am thankful I have had her by my side through many hard points in life, especially the ones that were after her father and I separated and before I met my husband Steve.
I am thankful I have been able to watch her grow up, find a field of study she is passionate about, fall in love with a wonderful man, become a godmother to a beautiful little girl, and get a job where she quickly climbed the ranks.
Marlena is a very driven and strong soul, one who is able to persevere through hard tasks and maintain focus.
I am thankful we get to take trips together, or even just go get our nails done at one of our favorite local spots. She also is a big Disney (especially Disneyland) fanatic who keeps me in the loop on fun or exciting Disney-related news!
I love the heart she has and I am thankful to be here so I can watch how her life further develops each day!
