[I walked my daughter to her first day of school dressed all in pink and white and a pretty bow in her hair and she held my hand tightly with lots of excitement and enthusiasm for the prospect of being a bigger little girl now than her sisters. She giggled and picked little wildflowers to give her new teacher, dropping more than keeping. When we saw the bigger children pouring out of busses and calling to friends and waving goodbye to mommies and daddies, she tugged at my hand to look closer. At the school steps, she suddenly stopped pulling forward and wrapped her little arms around me tightly never to let go. Looking up with tears, she whispered “Mommy what if nobody likes me?” and I suddenly heard my mother’s words to me many times over and on my first day of school and I smiled and said, “Always treat everybody the way you like being treated, always wear your beautiful smile and friends will find you” and with great trepidation she unwrapped herself, and for a very long minute clutched my hand before moving forward, then came a tiny wave from her classroom door as the welcoming teacher took her to a desk. I cried the whole way home just as my mother told me she had done and on her baby’s first birthday, I shared this written memory keepsake with her. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, “I remember Mommy and I never forgot.” That was my favorite gift from her to this day.]

Memorize these words and repeat daily to every child you meet, “Smile, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and loving family and friends will always find you. Butch & Geri Jones (Massachusetts, friends in Sedona)
