Found : Dear Simon

Wonderful. That's what it's all about.

That made me teary eyed - how sweet!!

What a wonderful, touching letter from a father to a son! I wish more Dads would do this.

now that I'm done crying...
what a treasure!

I have tears in my eyes...this is so precious and such a gift that you, and Simon, will treasure for always.

THank you for sharing this note.
I've encouraged the parents of the students (older elementary/middle school aged) i will take next week on a mission trip to write a note just like this for their kids - so I can give it to them during the trip.
Thank you so much for the example. I'm going to "steal" it to explain it a bit more.
(Hey, I got a letter like this a "love letter" from my folks a year ago. It's stuck in my Bible. It's great as a kid, it's even greater as an adult!)

Oh my Gosh. Tears are absolutely pouring from my eyes. Thank you for sharing this with us. And thank you, Chris, for being the kind of patient and observant parent who could write something like this. It’s an amazing portrait of fatherhood.

I'm taking Kelly Rae Roberts ecourse Flying Lessons and she posted your blog for her students to take a look at. I want to say thank you. You've inspired me, and I plan on coming back here often. And here's a look into one of mine:

Wow. This made me cry. What an amazing man.

What an amazing thing to find. How special for your family to have such an amazing man ;)

What a precious letter. Chris is a good dad.

Wow. What a keeper (both the husband and the letter)!

How very incredibly wonderful sweet and lovable is this! I can imagine Simon reading this over and over and over again...

I am sitting here reading this and tears are streaming down my face.... What a cherised gift that Chris has given you and Simon. My son also doesn't like cooked things to "brown" What a beautiful memory, I'm sure this will find it's way into a page somehow.... thank you so much for sharing with us.....

That is the sweetest letter ever.

You should have posted a warning--I am weeping right now!! Perhaps just a bit hormonal? Oh my, how touching.

Wow what more can you say and THANK YOU for sharing such a private moment with us and yes what an amazing Dad!

this made me cry while i am up to my elbows in laundry, floor, bathroom whole house cleaning.
i stopped to take a breather, read this and welled up deep...
....which was a good thing...
thank you for sharing love.

Amazingly sweet! I'm going to have to share this with my hubby. :)

This letter is SO so sweet! Simon is very lucky to have such a loving dad. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Ali!
