Found : Dear Simon

Dear Ali, I love reading this. Like you said it really gave a glimpse into the trip and how much love Chris has for Simon. And how much Simon has grown over the years. You have such a wonderful family!

At first I thought this letter was from you to Simon, and then thought "hey, this isn't Ali's handwriting...could it be Chris'?". So, so touching and such a beautiful treasure to have. Simon is a lucky boy. Thanks for sharing...so lovely...it brought tears to my eyes!

WOW... I am so just WOW.. this is so beautiful brought tears to my eyes. This is the reason I blog/scrapbook what happens w/my kids because I don't remember moments from my childhood as I know my mother would. So I want to capture those moments that means so much and hope when my kids read it they understand and know how special that moment was and how I love them so much.. Chris YOU ROCK :)

Oh man.
I was tearing up by the first "I love you so much Simon" and openly crying by the last.
I am now so inspired to write my daughter a letter just like this, thankyou so much for sharing this!

I'm crying. I love YOU so much Chris!

Thank you for sharing this Ali..I got all choked up! I love the moments between Dad's and their kids..
Simon will one day be so happy his Dad wrote this letter to him..
xo

so sweet of chris! amazing how he can freely express his feelings for his son...

Love this, Ali. Thanks for sharing. That's so great that Chris thought of writing his thoughts down on the spot. Such treasured memories.
Can't wait to take my kids camping for the first time in a couple of weeks.

What an amazing Dad! That's really incredible that Chris feels secure enough in the love of his children to be so open. I wish I had that kind of a relationship with my dad. And go Simon for camping!! Whoo hoo!

I have a lump in my throat reading this letter. How beautiful. Definitely something to be cherished and saved for him to read years from now.

So utterly sweet and what a precious gift for Simon to read when he's older.

That letter was so touching!! Makes me want to write letters more instead of just trying to remember special moments. Thanks for sharing!

That is simply amazing - what a treasure that will be for years to come!

What a beautiful thing to have. You have a husband with the heart of a poet, in touch with his feelings and with lots of love for his son. Lucky lady!
Have a good weekend, Ali

Happy Father's Day, Chris. Enjoy.

very, very touching...

Beautiful, Chris! Thank you for sharing, Ali. How lucky Simon and Anna are to have two Life Artists as parents. Truly awesome.

I am in awe of how blessed you are with your family! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful event! Ali, life just can't any better than this! Enjoy!

That is a wonderful letter. Simon will treasure these things later!
You and Chris are amazing!
Have a great weekend!
