One of Sandra's favorite quotes is:"My child starts school today. It is all going to be strange and new to them for a while and I wish you would treat them gently. It is an adventure that might take them across continents. All adventures that probably include wars, tragedy and sorrow. To live this life will require faith, love and courage.
So dear Teacher, will you please take them by their hand and teach them things they will have to know, teaching them - but gently, if you can. Teach them that for every enemy, there is a friend. They will have to know that all men are not just, that all men are not true. But teach them also that for every scoundrel there is a hero, that for every crooked politician, there is a dedicated leader.
Teach them if you can that 10 cents earned is of far more value than a dollar found. In school, teacher, it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach them to learn how to gracefully lose, and enjoy winning when they do win.
Teach them to be gentle with people, tough with tough people. Steer them away from envy if you can and teach them the secret of quiet laughter. Teach them if you can - how to laugh when he is sad, teach them there is no shame in tears. Teach them there can be glory in failure and despair in success. Teach them to scoff at cynics.
Teach them if you can the wonders of books, but also give time to ponder the extreme mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hill. Teach them to have faith in their own ideas, even if every one tells them they are wrong.
Try to give my child the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone else is doing it. Teach them to listen to every one, but teach them also to filter all that they hear on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.
Teach them to sell his talents and brains to the highest bidder but never to put a price tag on their heart and soul. Let them have the courage to be impatient, let them have the patience to be brave. Teach them to have sublime faith in themselves, because then they will always have sublime faith in mankind, i...Expand for more

This is a tall order, teacher but see what best you can do. They are such a nice little child.

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.”
"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?”
“To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.”
“To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here... always.”
