Dear Carrie,
Happy birthday. I hope wherever you are now, you have some awareness of how much your life mattered to so many people and that the world is worse off without you. And I hope that there are no saneist assholes there, even though if there were, you’d be giving them hell (no pun intended).
I’m sorry I haven’t been doing my part to dismantle ableism with snark in your honor very well this year. I’ll try to do better from now on. I want to live a life that you would have been proud of.
Love,
Mara
