The following is an example of a letter from Squeaky, the main character of "Raymond's Run," to her grandchild about the lessons she learned in the story:
Dear Jane,
When your old grandmother here was about your age, she learned a most precious lesson. I believe now is the time to share that lesson with you, my beloved granddaughter.
I was very competitive my whole life, always focused on doing my best and winning. Your granduncle Raymond, who is special, you know, would often have to run to keep up with me as I trained for a race.
I always did my best, but that time I wanted to defeat Gretchen, this girl I thought was arrogant, conceited. When the time finally came for us to run, my surprise was twofold.
Your uncle Raymond ran as if his life depended on it. He wasn't part of the race, mind you, but he won it anyway. And Gretchen revealed herself to be not only a great runner, but also an elegant loser.
That day I learned to judge less and accept more. We never know what people are truly capable of, or what their true personality is like in challenging moment.
Love,
Grandma
