Letter

Defying gravity

Dear Congresswoman Giffords and Mr. Kelly,

For several days I have been trying to write an uplifting letter, but I could not find the words. I wanted the words of encouragement to be for the two of you. I knew that if I waited, I would find the right words. The words are not mine, but the sentiment is.

The words come from the song “Defying Gravity” from the musical Wicked. This is my hope for the both of you: “Unlimited, together we’re unlimited. Together we’ll be the greatest team there’s ever been…Dreams the way we planned ‘em – if we work in tandem. There’s no fight we cannot win. Just you and I defying gravity. With you and I defying gravity.”

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers,
Michelle Dubas and the Dubas Family
