Lincoln Times-News article ….by Michelle Bernard
On September 27, 2017 by Michelle LoveI spent an hour of Michelle Bernard’s time on the phone on Monday, Sept. 25. I told her most of our story, crying through most of the hour’s discussion.

Rainbow promises
On August 20, 2017 by Michelle LoveGetting ready to leave the house for an appointment earlier, I looked outside to see if the rain had stopped. The sun was shining but it was still raining.

Another Sunday
On August 20, 2017 by Michelle LoveDidn’t sleep well again. Finally gave into the restlessness and opened my eyes to see 4am, yet again. Xanax couldn’t even keep my mind quiet last night.

Amazing Girl: Samantha Grembecki
On June 1, 2017 by Michelle LoveSam. The first time I met her was when she came up to me at BJ’s visitation, sobbing, still bald from her own treatments, and threw herself into my arms. We hugged and hugged, and instantly connected. I later found out that Sam was once up on the 11th floor at Levine Children’s Hospital during some of Read More
Going to the grave in my PJs
On May 9, 2017 by Michelle LoveI’ve been having some rough days. Saturday was particularly bad. I went to his grave that morning in my pajamas with my dogs. I just wanted to be there.
