A Tribute to Michelle Mackin: My Friend Michelle
6

I received an email this morning for an unrelated issue; however, the last line in this forwarded email caught my eye - "did you know Mark's wife died last night..." I made my way over to WryteStuff.com, only to see the words for my self: "My wife, Michelle Mackin, died Christmas Eve in her sleep." There are no words to express how I feel at this moment.

For those of you who missed out, I will bring you up to speed. Three years ago, my husband had to leave our home in Oregon and live out of a suitcase for one-year while working in California. It was not fun being apart... (posted by Teresa 246 days 20 hours ago.)
That Same Old Feeling
3

It happened yesterday, the instant sinking feeling followed by a rush of adrenaline. It has been a long time since this feeling arose from the pit of my stomach, and frankly, it would have been just fine if I had never felt it again. But there it was, that same old feeling that something wasn't right. A flash from my past, the quick duck before being seen by him, clouded my vision as I pulled into the...
