Today's Letter - 11 Jan 2021

-- A handwritten letter to my oldest daughter
To spare you some pain here's the typed version :)

Dearest Darling,

I could write about you and your virtues for the rest of my life and never say enough. That’s because there is so much good in you and because you’re always trying to better yourself! I absolutely love that about you. Good is never good enough for you!

You really do have it all. You have real strength in your faith, hope, love, and how you care and treat others as well as a complete willingness to joyfully sacrifice if it means making this life better for you and those who are lucky enough to be loved by you! You’re a wonderful example to us all and you’re going to be a great wife and a loving mom!

I’m proud of you! You are my daughter and I love you!

If a prior Marine, combat veteran, prior police officer, a kid who failed highschool because he wouldn't write a 5 page paper, and a man who didn't tell his mom that he loved her until he was 36 could figure out how to write handwritten love letters...then so can you! You can do it!
Special Notes
  1. To learn more please watch this video!
  2. Each day I write a handwritten letter to my wife, one our children, or their spouses or soon to be spouses. That's a total of 13 people in the rotation!
  3. To respect their privacy I don't use their names when I post their letter online. I just share a little bit about them for context. Also, each person decides which letters to post or not to post--it's completely up to them.
  4. I use different stamps and seal each envelop with wax...it's super cool and the letter can even be mailed! In this video I detail some considerations when (if) you buy you're own stamps.
  5. Letters are marked with a (number) and the date so they can be easily referenced in the future.
  6. I post these letters to encourage others to do the same and to give some ideas of what to say. I hope it moves you to reward your loved ones with your own kind, thoughtful, and loving words.

I learned a long time ago and have never wavered from the unblinking belief that people are not a problem to be solved but are the prize to be protected, nurtured, and loved.
