Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping center and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards. But as I chose and read, and chose and read again, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to say. So I decided to write a letter to you.
You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad. You and I will have had 56 Father's Days together. I didn't think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week.I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn't realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.
Fifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we'll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don't quite know how to tell you this, Dad …I don't like carrots...but I like planting them with you.
I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a Dad who brings home money or shares a dinner. It's more about a Dad deeply loving children who knows everything and won't listen to anyone. It's about sharing. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and I wish that it would never end.
Love,
Jenny
