Matt – Your kids are darn lucky! As are mine of course Beautifully written. Just pull that out and read it when they are 13 and driving you nuts. And breath deep!

Thank you for sharing your heart!

Great letter. I agree that you should keep this with other baby mementos for you and your kids to go back and read later.

This is a lovely letter, so glad that you put it here. It will inspire me.

Thanks as well for your kind comment about the loss of my daughter’s pet bird. We really appreciate it, she found it very comforting.

You are a wonderful father. This is something you should print out and put in the baby books if you all keep those. (I never remembered to update my kids’ books.)

As hard as it may be in being parents, I take inspiration from dads like you, full of hope, love and pride for their children.

I’m not even sure what to say. This is the kind of letter that every little girl wishes her father would write to her. You are an inspired writer.

Wow. You’ve got it straight. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Matthew -
I hope you keep all these wonderful things you write for your kids someday. It may be awhile, but they will appreciate it.
