The First Day of School
Dear Teacher,
Today I turn some of my little girl's life over to you.
It is not easy for me, because I held her so tightly when she was newborn. And I taught her and she felt the love of her family.
But today a new chapter in her life begins,
And for a few hours I will not be there to answer the questions, kiss her bruises...to "save her" from some pain, but you will be there.
Be kind, she is small. She has so much to give, and so much to learn. And so for those few hours when she is yours, remember, I held her tightly, I share her dreams, her hopes.
Give her love and help her learn.
And when the day is over, send her home unharmed.
