I actually look forward to these conversations because they're the most real conversations.

And 90% of the conversations I have with people are about ridiculous things.

I also am desperate to learn from others because, as you know, it's different for everybody.

And, yeah, I think it's the only thing that helps is talking about it.

And I haven't talked about it for my entire life.

So I've had a lot of stuff stored up.

But I really only kind of feel my dad, and I've only recently begun to feel him.

And it's taken me a long, long time because I ran from it for so long.

It was just too painful.

I don't know how it started, but I know it started by talking about it more.

You said that after your dad died, the first thing you did when you got home is you went into his closet.

You put your face into his clothes.

And you said there's a certain smell that everyone has.

It's not cologne or anything like that.

It's something indescribable.

It's what you smell when they give you a big hug.

It's in their favorite sweatshirts embedded in the fibers forever.

Do you remember his smell?

Because I don't remember my dad's smell.

Coming up, what Michaela told herself the last Olympics that helped her feel closer to her dad.
