A trip Michelle Roberson will never make

It is one of those rites that mark the end of summer.

Parents pack up their kids - along with all their offspring's earthly possessions - and haul them all off to college.

It is a rite I cherished for many years hustling my kids up the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike to their schools.

But this year as we marked another round of 'move-in' days, I have not been able to get someone else out of my head.

I have been thinking about a woman who will not be taking part in this cherished rite as she expected.

My heart breaks for Michelle Roberson.

It's in my weekly Letter from the Editor.
