Good morning Sarah. I am going through something similar but not the same. I am older, 71 years old, and my body just doesn’t work like it used to so I have to have a walker. A lot of people assume that I’m an invalid. I am far from that. I write books I repair computer computers, and I do a lot of other things that most people can’t do. So if that’s an invalid, let it be that. You are very special and you have a very special gift. Just share that gift of kindness. Everywhere you go. And it will come back to you. Others will learn to be kind to you.Thank you to your mom for sharing with us your day.
Thanks for sharing this about yourself, Michael. It hurts my heart when I hear how older people experience aging and that other, younger people call them things, like invalid or feeble or frail. You are doing great things and can at any age! We are all in different stages of life, and each has its blessings and burdens. We are so grateful you are here with us.
Thank you, Sarah, and Jeannie for your discussion today. Sarah, I agree with your friends here on Substack. You will rock Sixth grade! You are so beautiful, smart, and wise! I really appreciate you and your kind words and voice. You are amazing! Enjoy your summer! I will always remember to be kind now to everyone I meet. I loved your suggestions. Hugs!
Ugh - some people always find a reason to bully others and be mean. I do not know why. Maybe they are hurting themselves. Stay brave Sarah and keep sharing kindness ❤️
😍 Although I think kids should be allowed to be kids and not be strong...It is so wrong that Sarah (and you!) have to deal with this BS. You are doing God´s work by educating people here, so a big thank you to you, Jeannie ❤️ And hugs to your brave little girl, who I hope will have a really great summer!
My “Daily Sarah!” This one, a “Brave Sarah” edition. It’s not easy sharing something from our past that hurt our feelings, or sharing things about ourselves that are different—but sharings like this help other people who need the examples from strong and brave others who had those hurtful things happen to them, but came through it braver, stronger, and more compassionate towards others. THAT’s your superpower Sarah!!!
Sarah, I really appreciate that you share your stories with us. It helps me so much to remember to be kind, especially when I am feeling tired or impatient or frustrated. You are the best!
Raising a beautiful articulate soul Mom!! Love how you love her and in turn she is learning to love exactly who she is and others too. God bless you darling Sarah❤️❤️
I like to smile and say hi to people! I think most kids get nervous about changing classes in a new school. Try not to worry too much about that. Enjoy your summer for now!
Sarah you are teaching us so much about how to be kind and thoughtful to everyone - I know it’s hard to experience things like this, but sharing them helps all of us to be more aware and thoughtful - thank you!
My oldest daughter really liked the movie Wonder and I think Sarah is going to rock 6th grade! ❤️
I think you’re right, Stephanie! Thanks for being such a great cheerleader for Sarah!
These conversations are incredibly powerful. Thank you both!
It means a lot that you stop to watch, Dan, and that you are touched by our interactions. Thanks for that!
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for reminding us how important kindness is. I appreciate you.
We appreciate you, too, Nancy. XO

I think someone wrote #SarahStrong, Kati. Your comment reminds me of this!

You are lucky to have such a loving & supportive family!
I think the book WONDER should be mandatory reading for middle school students & maybe younger AND maybe older❣️❣️❣️❣️
I agree! If it were required reading in elementary school, maybe the kids would grow up with more empathy.
