Dedicated To My Mother

Beloved Mother

Micheline wasn’t just an extraordinary woman; she was also an incredible, caring and always attentive mother.

My father, Émile, sadly passed away when I was just 4 years old, leaving my mother to become even stronger on her own. She faced life’s challenges head-on and triumphed! Not only did she raise me single-handedly, but she also instilled in me the most beautiful manners & values that a mother can pass down to her child. For that, I am profoundly grateful.

That’s why I dedicate my online store, “Mitch’s Backyard,” to my mother.

But today, my mother is no longer with us.

She passed away in March 2020.

Since then, a profound emptiness has settled within me, but I know she’s always by my side because I can feel her presence. Without her, I wouldn’t be the man I am today. I owe everything to my mother.

Thank you, Mom.

I love you and miss you dearly.

Your son, Michel
