To My Daughter On Her 4th Birthday

August 2004 Dear McKenna: I've been debating what to write for your annual birthday letter wanting to give you bright, happy thoughts. I can't believe you're going to be four years old on the 15th.

When I was 8 I was devastated to learn of my parents divorcing and to add insult to injury my mom left my sisters and me with our dad. My older sister, Cindy became my hero. She fluffed my pajamas in the dryer before bed, sewed my Girl Scout badges on my uniform, comforted me when the ...
