The Show with David Burrows

What a great conversation this was. 😊

This week on **The Show with David Burrows**, I sit down with Michelle Parks for a heartfelt and honest conversation about community, family, resilience, and the passion behind giving back.

Michelle and I have actually known each other since high school, so this one felt a little like two old friends catching up. Along the way we share some laughs, memories from those days, and reflect on how life has taken us down some very different but meaningful paths.

Michelle opens up about her deep connection to Sarnia Lambton and the many ways she continues to give back to the community. We talk about her work with Tampon Tuesday, mental health awareness and SafeTALK, her journey into real estate, her time in local politics, and the importance of showing up for others.

This interview has a little bit of everything. There are laughs, meaningful moments, personal reflections, and a powerful reminder that even through life’s hardest seasons, some people still choose to lift others up. ❤️

Please watch, like, comment, and share this one around. I think Michelle’s story will really connect with a lot of people. 🙌

💙 Sometimes you reconnect with someone in the community you’ve known for years and discover a whole story you never knew was there. That is exactly what happened when I ran into Diane Lambert again and it led to this powerful conversation with Diane and Monica Vautour.

❤️ We talk about family roots, including an incredible war bride story, and the very real journey of raising medically fragile children. There are honest moments about fear, overwhelm, guilt, strength, and the deep love that keeps parents moving forward. 🤝 One of the biggest themes is support — how parent to parent connection, shared experience, and community care can make a hard road more manageable.

🌳 You will also hear the story behind CCMF and Standing Oaks, and how years of persistence, advocacy, and heart helped create a true home environment for medically fragile residents — not just a facility. 🎶 From music and art programs to hands on care and daily connection, this place is built around dignity, warmth, and quality of life.

🥞 I have known Diane a long time, but we reconnected recently at a Moose Lodge breakfast where she was serving on behalf of CCMF as a fundraiser. That moment led to a great catch up — and a surprise to me — I had no idea she and her friend Monica Vautour had written a book together. 📚 Their book *Journey to a Dream* shares the full story, the lessons learned, the challenges they faced, and how determination and community made the difference.

If you know someone caring for a medically fragile child, or you simply want to better understand the quiet strength in some of our local families, this interview is worth watching.

👇 Drop a 💙 in the comments if this story speaks to you, and please share this so more people in our community can learn about CCMF and Standing Oaks.
