It is with tears non stopping tears that I read Mila's Story. I wanted to scream at those who are so accepting of all this but that would do little good so I turned my facebook banner black with a single beautiful daisy in the bottom corner and wrote in white lettering....In Memory of Mila. . I posted your story on my Facebook page and asked people to please read it-- “May you honour her young life by finally letting her voice be heard. No one would listen when she was begging to be heard. Please do not turn a cold shoulder and uncaring heart to this beautiful child -- she needs to be heard as it was silence and apathy that was the author of it.” I will never forget your precious daughter. Reading her writings is like stepping into the most beautiful heart. The loss of it is tragic. You are in my prayers and heart forever. Cindi Goodall.
What an incredible young woman. And an absolutely brilliant writer just like her mama. Thank you so very much for sharing this Tara. It is a blessing to read her words.
I am a complete stranger, but I saw a 'light in your window' and came closer to take a better look. I extend to you my warmest greetings from Ireland as I pray for your family's heavy heart. I will continue to read Mila's words with reverence and with regret that I shall never have the privilege of meeting her beautiful spirit in this life. God bless you and your family and may Mila's gifts continue to ripple into future horizons for decades to come. I wish you healing, strength, and peace.
What a profound young lady she was.. I have just started reading your writings and today Milas writings.. I sit near with tears streaming down my face and think what an amazingly talented, in touch, and aware young lady..
Last night, I stumbled upon Mila's story after a friend told me about you a few weeks ago. Her story lead me here - to this place where you have so beautifully and heartbreakingly shared your experience in grief and the journey to finding her again in a whole new way. I started from the beginning and read every single post, each one building more wonder for the magnificent person she is. And for you, as her Mother, whose writing I am so grateful to absorb. And absorbed it, I have. My brother ended his life two months ago - I haven't found a comfortable way of saying that yet, because nothing feels right. By now, I know that no two grief experiences are the same, but here is the only place since he left that I have believed and found hope that I will find him again someday, somehow, if only I learn to seek him in a different way. Thank you so much. I will never forget Mila.

My goodness, Tara. The depth of feeling and awareness at her age. Brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful piece.
I read this incredible piece in tears and will never forget it.

Mila shared a talent with her mama. She was a beautiful writer and, as evidenced in the words above, a very beautiful soul.
What a beautifully written heart-wrenching life-changing experience written by a clearly exquisite kind soul.
