“Those first days of a new school year I looked forward to wearing my new school outfit, meeting new friends and new teachers, but the most meaningful and surely the most memorable moments were when I hurried to the breakfast table to see what my father had written to me that morning. I keep these letters in a special binder and read them every year about this time.
I have since passed this tradition on to my own children. The words are different as I have all boys, but the love, pride and well wishes for the coming year are the same. Tonight, I have placed three letters by three cereal bowls at our breakfast table.”
