Once I retrieved the letter I continued to read:

I would like to tell you stories of your grandfathers,
to carry you on my shoulders, to be there when you go
off to school.

Ah, little one, what will your favorite color be?

As if my Dad were there … I answered. “I love

green.”

Since it seems I will not be there myself; wear this
necklace I made for you and I will always be with you.

Sleep well, for you are loved with a love as powerful
as any child has ever known from a father.

I am with you always. For now, fly with eagles.
You are the greatest blessing of my life.

Your loving Father

I ran out to the porch to get the box.
