with complete Dear Michaela blog
Tomorrow is Michaela's birthday. I have struggled mightily with what to do with this day since she has been gone. For some years, I had a group of friends who came to my house, and we would sit in a circle and remember Michaela. But time and tides ended that practice. For years after that... Continue Reading →
Dear Michaela, I was thinking about this blog this morning, and my letters to you, and why I do it. I have gotten to the point where I bristle when people want to talk about your case.

It's not quite the 24th yet here yet, but I don't know where you might be, Michaela, and in some places it is, or will be soon. I wouldn't want you to wake up anywhere and say, "It's my birthday! I wonder if my mom remembers," and sign onto this blog and not find anything.... Continue Reading →
