Dad, this is our first Father's Day letter — but here goes
Written by hand · Sealed with wax · Sent as one link
Conversations with dads always run short. But in front of a letter, both of you get a little more honest.
Ways to begin
“Dad, I guess I got my habit of not saying things from you. Today I'm writing them instead.”
“When I was little, I thought your shoulders were the widest in the world. I still do.”
Frequently asked questions
Q. Is it okay if my letter to Dad is short?
Yes. For quiet relationships, three sentences are plenty: one thank-you, one memory, one 'take care of yourself.'
