In this episode Michael Schwartz shares his deeply personal and painful journey of grief and becoming a single father. The sudden and unexpected death of his wife Vanessa left Michael alone to raise their nine month old daughter Luciana. At 40 Michael was a widower still processing his own feelings of despair and guilt. To help him through that emotional valley Michael wrote letters for Luciana to read someday, But then something transformed and the letters became as much for himself as for Luciana.
