MOVING FORWARD WITH A SMILE

As you start school this year, think of what your parent who is not here would have wanted you to do. Probably, they would want you to start the first day smiling, happy, excited, and not bummed out about them not being there. They can be with you in your head and your heart. Put a photo of them in the small zipper part of your backpack, or a lucky keychain or something of theirs. It's a little security and a piece of them. Then move forward happily, like they would want you to do!
