I’ve written online for 9 years now. I’ve garnered tens of thousands of followers, and written millions of words. But this…. this scares me. A few weeks ago my Dad sent me a message. “I have an idea. What do you think of a column where you and I discuss things that are relevant in family, relationship issues, day to day struggles, really any topic. We could bring up any topic and look at it from both our unique perspectives. I think we could help a lot of people.
This father-son "Letters With My Father" exchange is very touching and inspiring. That kind of cross-generational sharing within a family is rare these days, to the detriment of all. You're pioneering in helping show a different way from today's prevailing pattern of people's identity being limited to themselves, and not including the immense importance of parents, siblings and ancestors. This is a fundamental contribution to social change and improvement. Bravo!
Karine thank you! One day we want to open up this publication for others to write letters with their parents. It doesn't have to be between a father and son, either. I would really love for this place to eventually become a space to host many different dialogues, not just between my father and I.
This is such a beautiful idea. I was fortunate enough to meet this beautiful and warm family and I feel blessed. It's going to be an amazing journey, I'm sure of that ❤️
It’s amazing you are doing this because I’ve been toying with the idea of writing about my relationship with my father who is turning 90 this month. He’s an idea enthusiast like your dad!
What a heart-warming idea! We can certainly all learn from each other no matter what age we are. I’m looking forward to learning more from you and your father, Tom!
I come from a design school. And precisely, this was my thesis. Deep dive into a father- son relationship. I won't say I got it hundred percent at that time (especially because I wasn't even a mother or a son) but I have always been intrigued by this idea! To have a beautiful relationship between a father and son. I have a son now and this topic is even more important now to me than before. Thanks for making me find you!
I love this! My family has so many stories they have never shared, I keep trying to get them to open up and tell me what they do know, as our history has huge voids.
Love it! You are so fortunate to have a father to join you on this journey.
I really am. I'm fortunate he had this idea, too. It was one of the best ideas I've ever heard for a writing project.
What a fantastic idea! Wishing you both much fun and success!
Thank you Tamara! :)
Beautiful words guys 🤗
Wauw absolutely love this idea!! This sentence 'I’m a huge fan of my son.' made me smile big times. I can already feel the love!
Thank you Marie! 🥹 For a first time blogger, my Dad is pretty darn good!!!
He sure is! And so cool he came up with this idea!

What a wonderful and generous idea. Slightly risky, too, depending on what you share. I'd love to try it with my mum actually!
Thank you Lisa! You should try it!
Maybe I will.. even if unpublished. I'll ask my mum!
Go for it Elizabeth!!
Love it! I look forward to learning from you both.
This is so beautiful! I love this idea
