Watching your unbreakable spirit is beyond inspiring.
I feel such pity for your plight and then I switch on the news and all I can feel is sheer admiration.
You are the literal living example of ‘grace under fire.’
To face a bully of such size with such bravery and truth, is awe-making.
If you come out of this victorious, you will have set an eternal example to the world.
If you are defeated, you will still have given us all an invaluable lesson for life.
I heard last night a baby was born in the underground.
Surrounded by love, support, help and hope.
The ultimate reminder that life goes on, that a spirt is not as easy to break as a building.
Dear people of Ukraine,
I have never wanted anyone to succeed more and I am forever inspired by your courage.
You may be reminded daily how small you are in stature, on this political playing-field,
but in the eyes of the world right now,
you are a GIANT.
Donna Ashworth
