1.Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father鈥檚 Day cards.They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you.Yet as I selected and read,and selected and read again,it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You鈥檒l soon be 84 years old,Dad,and you and I will have had 55 Father鈥檚 Days together.I haven鈥檛 always been with you on Father鈥檚 Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays.It wasn鈥檛 because I didn鈥檛 want to be with you.I鈥檝e always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.
You know,Dad,there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized by it.You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other,father and daughter split apart by age and experience,opinions,hairstyles,cosmetics,clothing,curfews,music,and boys.
The Father-Daughter Duel of 4 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 4 Chevy whether you liked it or not.The police officer who escorted me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a snotty 16 year old.You were so decent about it,Dad,and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship improved immensely when I married a man you liked,and things really turned around when we begin making babies right and left.We didn鈥檛 have a television set,you know,and we had to entertain ourselves somehow.I didn鈥檛 know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didn鈥檛 have to wait long to find out.Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now.When I see you with all your grandchildren,I know you鈥檝e given them the finest gift a grandparent can give.You鈥檝e given them yourself.
Somewhere along the line,the generation gap evaporated.Age separates us now and little else.We agree on most everything,perhaps because we鈥檝e learned there isn鈥檛 much worth disagreeing about.However,I would like to mention that fly fishing isn鈥檛 all you鈥檝e cracked it up to be,Dad.You can say what you want about wrist action and stance and blah,blah,blah...
I鈥檝e been happily drifting for a lot of years,Dad,and I didn鈥檛 see you getting older.
I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together,rather like a fine wine.Numbers never seemed important.But the oddest thing happened last week.I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car.It didn鈥檛 immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car.It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere.Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.Or maybe I saw my own.
Fifty years ago this spring we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City,Iowa.
I didn鈥檛 know then that I would remember that day for the rest of my life.This week,we鈥檒l plant kohlrabi together again,perhaps for the last time but I hope not.I don鈥檛 understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is.And the funny thing about it is,well,I don鈥檛 know quite how to tell you this,Dad...I don鈥檛 even like kohlrabi...but I like planting it with you.
I guess what I鈥檓 trying to say,Dad,is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today.Honoring a Father on Father鈥檚 Day is about more than a Dad who brings home a paycheck,shares a dinner table,and attends school functions,graduations,and weddings.It isn鈥檛 even so much about kohlrabi,4 Chevrolets,and fly-fishing.It鈥檚 more about unconditionally loving children who are snotty and stubborn,who know everything and won鈥檛 listen to anyone.It鈥檚 about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking.It鈥檚 about loving someone more than words can say,and it鈥檚 wishing that it never had to end.
I love you,Dad.
2.Letter of Thanks on Father鈥檚 Day
Dear Dad,
Today is father鈥檚 day,for so many years I鈥檝e been seekig a way to express my heartfelt thanks for all you have done for me.Here comes it!
Thank you for always being there sharing my life when I need you most.Whenever I encounter difficulties,I never feel alone and vulnerable,because you will keep
me on the right path.I鈥檓 blessed to have you.
Thank you for offering me education and teaching me how to be a man.You always inspire me not by words,but by what you have done!Your efforts in the work,your loyalty to your friends,your responsibility for the family and your persistence in the life have already set me good examples in my own life.
Thank you for always appreciating my work,no matter how tiny it is!You have made me realize that it鈥檚 capacity not scores that really counts.
Dad,I love you and I will love you forever!
Yours beloved,
