My younger sister died unexpectedly on July 16th. I am not going to explore the circumstances for the moment.
What I want to do is memorialize her, Laura Jean Pollard Bundy Michaels, a wonderful person who, too often, drew the short straw.
She leaves behind a daughter whom she adored. When the Guns ‘n Roses’s song “Sweet Child of Mine” would come on–on radio, in bar, in casino, wherever–her eyes would well up. She absolutely adored her daughter.
I love you, Laura. I pray you’re soaring right now.
