30 Letters in 30 days - Day 9: Someone You Wish You Could Meet

This is a awkward letter to write because it's so personal.  I don't want to say your name but there are so many things I would like to tell you.  I will never get to meet you, not in this life anyway.  Yet, I owe so much to you and there aren't enough words to express my gratitude.

I want to say thank you.  I don't know if there is a heaven or what happens when we die, but I hope that you are looking down and checking in on us from time to time.  I hope you see what a good job you did and what a phenomenal man your child has turned out to be.  Your impact on him helped make him who he is today, and that is someone I love very much.  He is a good man, an honest and dependable man.  He amazes me every single day and is so full of love and life.  I wish we could share the excitement of our relationship with you. He says you would like me.  I hope you would.

I want you to know that I will always love him and take care of him.  I will be honest and treat him with love and respect.  I could never ever replace you, and I don't want to, but I will be there for him because you can't be.  If you are looking down on him, please keep him safe and bring him home to me.

- Charity
