Dear Kindergarten Teacher,
You probably don’t know this, you probably aren’t even aware, but your class is one short this year. There should be a little girl named Hannah in your class. She would have curly brown hair, a twinkle in her eye and and infectious laugh. She’d keep you on your toes. Like her big brother, she’d be incredibly smart and kind and social. Like her little brother, she’d be incredibly funny and inquisitive and the kind of kid you just always want to be around. She’d love to read like her mom. She’d love superheros like her dad. She’d love school. And you’d love having her in class. Secretly, she’d be your favorite.
At least that’s how I imagine it would all go. We’ll never really know. Your class will be one short this year, that much is certain. Hold space for her please, in your heart. It’s the closest we can come to kindergarten.
Love,
Hannah’s Mom
