For school, DS1 has this folder that he brings home each day with stuff for the parents on one side and homework on the other.  In the parents side, today, she put in a ziploc bag with a cotton ball, a tissue and a bag of tea.  There was a note from the teacher in there.

Dear parents,

Thank you for entrusting your child to me.  I promise to do my best everyday to be your child’s companion in learning.

After you have wiped your tears, make yourself a nice warm cup of tea, put your feet up and relax.  Then hold the cotton ball in your hand.  The softness will help you to recall the gentle spirit of your child.

I will work along with you this year to help your child grow.

Sincerely,
.,.. signed by her.

Yup.  I needed that tissue.
