Meghann says that the last 12 days of watching their daughter literally fight for her life has taught her and her husband something that she wants all parents to know.

'A small group of students took a big risk. They decided to start a raw and powerful dialogue about suicide. By putting themselves in front of 1,800 classmates and saying...look, I have a story, too. I have pain. I have been hurt, but there are not '13 reasons why' to give up."

“I thought, ‘Don’t panic or mom’s going to get scared'... I can’t lose her. I already lost my dad.”

"It’s pretty jarring to have your entire life and your entire family change in a split second. I was pretty crushed."

“Just as the light became amazing I scrapped everything I knew and I walked up to them and said, ‘Guys, stop posing.'"

"For the first time we realized something terrible had happened. The shock of seeing him like that was the bleakest moment I've ever had."

"He has tattoos on his neck and arm and even a skull tattoo the size of my entire hand on the back of his head. His name tag says 'Punisher' everything about him screams burliness and manliness."

In a video that has now gone viral, Anu can be seen confidently making her way out to the asphalt for recess as her classmates see her prosthetic leg for the first time.
