“To the Survivor it May Concern”

Written By SarahAnn Harris Hamilton

To the Survivor it may concern:

I would bet my last dollar that you are reading this with a heavy heart. A heavy heart that not many would ever understand. A heavy heart only another survivor would know about.

I know that misfortune all to well. I had a love affair with that misfortune, held hands and kicked cans with that misfortune. That is why I am composing this letter with magic ink on pages of opportunity.

This is my love letter to you. A love letter filled with the things I wish someone would have told me.

Documented truth about what the “game” really is. The lies it tells you. A list of the silly rules some monster with a pinky ring whispered in your ear.

I strongly believe that this information should be printed on paper, bond in a pink book. Then it should be placed in the motel that rents by the hour or the 4-star hotel. It should be kept in the nightstand right alongside the bible.

Survivor written versus that will be passed on to whomever needs to hear them. Tales filled with hope and endless joy. Powerful, meaningful words.

Words like you Matter.

Money is nothing but dirty paper.

You are Mighty.

You are the bravest soul I know.

You are much more than your War stories.

Love cost nothing

You will fit in a square world.

Written testimonies of escape and families being restored.

A special book written just for you.

To the survivor that is reading this right now.

Telling tales of triumph.

You are a happy ending.

Chicken Soup for the survivor soul.

Your who saves the day, the hero.

You are the reason why stories are told.

Your story will unlock something in someone who is trapped in the trap.

Your story will remind someone of their worth.

We are the greatest story ever told, the only story worth hearing.

You are pretty pages and lovely letters.

You are worth reading.

Sincerely the Survivor who wrote this
