Since i won’t be home for father’s [sic] I am writing you a letter. You are a great dad and I am writing this so that on father’s day .. you will know that I appreciate [sic]. You are an understanding person; even tempered, quick to laugh, supportive and open minded. You don’t shut down ideas. You let me do my own thing. You’re funny. you laugh with me. I love those crazy fits of laughter that you and I have. You are my dad. You have raised me from a tiny, helpless pink blob. I thank you for this service. I love you Pa. Just wanted you to know that.
