Mila's story is wonderful. She had incredible insight and compassion. I am so sorry for your loss, and grateful that you are sharing her.

So short and sweet that it left me wanting more... her descriptions and vivid imagery makes it seem like she’s writing out her own life story.

What’s crazier is that I’ve felt these very same feelings. As a young mother of 3, sending my children to an amazing Waldorf in the middle of a very affluent area, much different to our own little lower middle class neighborhood—watching the other mothers in designer clothes and accessories while I come in my freshly thrifted tops and jeans... she hit it right on the head. What an amazing girl you have to write this at only 17.
