Letters from a dead Dad

xoxoxoBruce · 08-07-2015, 06:54 PM

This 8 year old boys father died at 27 from cancer. In Dad's last week in the hospital her wrote his son a bunch of letters, the first to be opened at Dad's death, and the rest to be opened on specific occasions in the boy's life.

Quote:

The envelope read WHEN I’M GONE. I opened it.
Son,
If you’re reading this, I’m dead. I’m sorry. I knew I was going to die.
I didn’t want to tell you what was going to happen, I didn’t want to see you crying. Well, it looks like I’ve made it. I think that a man who’s about to die has the right to act a little bit selfish.
Well, as you can see, I still have a lot to teach you. After all, you don’t know crap about anything. So I wrote these letters for you. You must not open them before the right moment, OK? This is our deal.
I love you. Take care of your mom. You’re the man of the house now.
Love, dad
PS: I didn’t write letters to your mom. She’s got my car.

Letters for "WHEN YOU HAVE THE WORST FIGHT EVER WITH YOUR MOM", "WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR VIRGINITY", "WHEN YOU GET MARRIED", "WHEN YOU BECOME A FATHER", and more.
I highly recommend reading them all here.

Yes, but they are happy tears. Well, not happy, but warm and fuzzy tears.
