I still remember the call and message to my college dorm. They grossly misspelled your name, but I understood the message just the same! I couldn't wait to come and meet you! Happy Birthday Michaela!

I remember the night you were born. I came home from work that evening with my back hurting bad. It went out worse than ever. When your mom went into labor I was left on the front room floor in front of a warm fire. It soon went cold and I could not get up to stoke it, but I survived, happy BD,

Love,
Papa
