Michele's Biography

"My Life"

Michael Glancy

 I was fortunate enough to be born to loving parents and a family of 3 siblings, two sisters, and one brother.  As the baby of the family I received much attention, you can even ask my brothers and sisters.  Our parents were and still are our staunchest advocates, always involved, always providing guidance and love.  If I could take one quality from my parents it would be their capacity for unconditional love.  We were always the center of their universe. 

 Family and friends were always a huge part of my childhood.  My parents and my aunt and uncle built a cottage on a local lake and during the summer this was the place to gather.  All of our relatives, friends, and neighbors would spend countless days at the lake, enjoying the water and the campfires.  “Camp” was and always will be the place of some of my fondest memories.  I learned much in the way of sharing, caring, and family at these gatherings. I hope to duplicate this for our child.

 My parents celebrated their 50th anniversary last year.  My relationship with my parents is strong and enduring, I owe them everything.  I met Michele, my wife, on October 10th, 1992.  We met through mutual friends, a strong basis from which to start.  We were married on July 19th, 1997.  Like all couples we have had our great times and our challenges.  I could go on forever about the great times.  We share many things together, our love of family and friends, winter and summer sports and recreational activities, and our desire to have a family.  The most significant challenge we face as a couple is infertility.  All of our life’s, Michele and I were shown that family is the most important thing.

 I believe Michele and I would make excellent parents.  We have a strong sense of family, a loving home, and a fantastic support structure in our friends and family.  Given the opportunity to have a child, we would raise them with love, a clear and consistent set of morals, a support structure that would allow them to stretch there imagination, and a thirst for knowledge and adventure.
