Dear Dad (10 sentences)

I’m not sure I ever began a letter with those words, but I’d like to take a stab at it.


Can I tell you that I always admired you for your strength, your musical voice and sense of humor?

Can I tell you that I never felt so special than that time you confided in me on the way to Kennedy Airport?

Can I say that I saw your face shine, the first time you saw me in uniform?

Can I tell you that I should have known I could trust you to help me, always?

Can I tell you that I love you?

Well, now it is too late.

I suppose I could have written a letter of which I’d be proud .

Better yet, I could have written a letter to make you proud of me.

Most of all, I just could have written a letter.
