HANDWRITTEN TEXT:
Subject: Repair, Embrace, students, teachers, you, I, our county, our community.
Constant cycle of create, maintain, Embrace, Repair, Change.
This new beauty that stitches us together—sometimes clumsily, sometimes with grace, sometimes with fears and blood.
I love the patient ones who stitch.
