Read this if you want to cry:

From reddit. Cancer-stricken dad wrote a letter to his 4 year old son 20 years ago.

"This letter is very hard for me to write..." got me choked up immediately at second paragraph.

I wonder what became of them. The child would be 24 now.

4 year old son, 10 years ago = 24?

Edit, nevermind. Read the letter now and it was dated 1991. The OP said 10 years ago.

Yea 24, I'm such a 90's kid, I think 1991 is only a ten years ago.

You forgot the period.

Never doubt me again...except in all this cases I'm wrong, which is often.

It's definitely a cool to read the child's comments now that he's all grown up. Sounds like an upstanding guy, like his old man.

tl,dr

 

[eits]

didn't get choked up until i read "you are my life."

 

[SlowSpyder]

Things like this used to never bother me. Now I have a five year old and sometimes just realizing what I'm about to read is in regards to gets me choked up before I even finish the first line.

LOL thank you ATOT.

 

[lehtv]

He could've left the period out intentionally so as to incite a response. Then again, Kantastic as well could've responded to that post so as to incite this response that you are reading. Do you think I am writing this so as to incite a response from you?

lol wtf how did I do that.
