Hannah Brown

I am From...

I am from being born at my house on a cold February night
I am from one older sister who drives me crazy but is my best friend
I am from the 30 cousins that I have
I am from the trips to Ireland to visit the 27 cousins aunts and uncles of mine that live there
I am from plane rides with my sister asking "are we there yet" before we even take off
I am from big farms with lots of land in the country, and small houses in the suburbs
I am from saying grace that turns into 10 minute songs about absolutely nothing
I am from big family weddings with 350 people and you know everyone
I am from the lake that I go to every summer and the people there who are like family
I am from the smell of chlorine at 6:30 on a Saturday morning
I am from the repetitive question of "Hannah do we really have to swim this set?" and "I'm too tired can we stop swimming yet?"
I am from the trips to the hospital with doctors and nurses asking lots of questions
I am from helping my mom fight cancer the battle that never ends
i am from my past, present and my future
