Where is the Wizard now?
This is the picture that is Michaela's Facebook profile picture and will be forever. It was taken just a few nights before her accident. I remember the night very well. She came out of her room wearing black and white flats. I didn't like it much; thought it looked a bit dumpy (like I am some fashion guru). We re-worked the outfit adding the shoes and a red necklace of mine to a black and white dress...it was fun.
Late that night she sent me a text message that she had been drinking and was spending the night at a friends. She said they had a lot of fun. Later on, after, her friends told me that they had gotten to the house and Michaela laid down and fell asleep; then she sat up and said she needed to text me and let me know where she was. Her friends told her to go back to sleep, that it was late and I was already asleep anyway. But she was insistent. She said if I woke up and she wasn't there, I would be worried and she didn't want that.
I think about that a lot, and when I get little signs, I know they are from her. I know that she doesn't want me to worry.
Anyway, the picture. Every single time I visit her page, I look at that picture and think....why can't she just click those heels together and say 'there's no place like home' a few times? Come back to me from over the rainbow. Just for a little while? Please?

Michaela was such a loving and thoughtful daughter! It's definitely a reflection on what a great mom you were (are) that she would be concerned about you.
