DEAR DADDY Here’s what some third graders had to say about their dads, bad spelling and all: Dear Dad, I love it when you take me on dates! I like it when you play baseball with me, miniature golf with me, and watch movies with me. I really aprisheate it! I like it when you tell jokes to me. I like it when you hug me and kiss me. Daddy, I love you! Dear Daddy, I love you so much. When you are going to come see me agen? I miss you very much. I love it when you take me to the pool. When am I going to get to spend the night at your house? Have you ever seen my house before? I want to see what your house looks like. Do you? When am I going to get to see you agene? I love you, Daddy. One letter is from a child who knows her father’s presence. The second is from a child whose father, for whatever reason, has chosen not to be present. —John Trent, “Promise to Be There,” Christian Parenting Today (September–October 2000)
