Skye would be 37 years old today. Last time we saw Skye she was 21. It's been 16 years...16 years of not knowing. I cry in the episode. Bear with me. I received news yesterday, in order to submit a new sample of DNA we have to go to Japan. After two years of talking about Skye's case we have finally reached a new point, and this is something to celebrate.

I have taken some time away to focus on bettering myself. This has been a journey that I do want to continue but I have learned that I need to show up for myself first before I can achieve anything else. How would you like to see Surviving Skye evolve? Skye's disappearance is still very much my focus but the truth is its a cold case with very little (no) movement. In order to Survive the unknown we have to keep on moving. Not forgetting, just moving, moving creates disruptions, and disruptions create change, change can bring us answered and I'm on a journey that won't stop until I get the answered I'm looking for. So what do you think my next step should be? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/survivingskye/support
