We were lucky to have your family come to our small town.

Dear Hannah, as I read your words, I forgot I was reading. Your honesty and cadence created a musical piece that pierced my heart. Your words, "I am learning to show up in the world and be open about both my strengths and my vulnerabilities, to understand that my only two choices aren’t to be invisible or perfect. Stepping onto the courts for the first time was brave. But staying there is where the real growth is." are so empowering to read and to witness. Thank you <3

You didn't move through your day like the bullied - you were SO smart, seemed so confident and so world-wise in that sad little town. And you were so KIND to people - to everyone from the popular kids to the... less than. I wonder, if you'd known how amazing people thought you were, those last two years of high school, if it might have accelerated some healing.
