However, with their assistance, my son is currently in his senior year and even filling out college applications. Michael seems to have thought of everything, and he has become an invaluable part of my family's life. Most importantly, thanks to Michael's hard work and sacrifices, I have my son back. He is now healthy, happy, and thriving."
