I’d say my best friend of 22 years-we met in 2nd grade and have been inseperable since. I don’t know what I’d do without her!
My husband is the dragon.
My husband is the dragon of the family.
No doubt my husband is a dragon! Nothing fake whatsoever about him and he is definitely honest (sometimes painfully so LOL)! He is a fire breather!!

My best friend is the “dragon”! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
My brother is the dragon in my life! He’s constantly “fire-breathing” a realistic, yet humorous dose of reality in my life! I love that he is completely genuine (and usually right) when it comes to wisdom in life. His fortune would say: Wit and wisdom are your greatest traits. :)
My daughter is a grad student who works hard, confident in what she is pursuing in her studies and a joy to be around.
My daughter! We amazes me!
Has to be my husband.
My dad!
My close friend is the dragon! Filled with confidence, bold, honest! She’ll face a problem head on and tells it like it is. Good to have in my life!
