I finally wrote the letter to my dad after my sister said one thing at Thanksgiving
My sister Lisa mentioned at Thanksgiving in Boise that dad still has the cassette tape I made him for his 50th birthday in 1998, and he plays it in his truck sometimes. I wrote a whole apology letter about the fight we had over me skipping his retirement party and never mailed it, it has been in my glove box for 3 years. Hearing she said that made me feel like maybe the letter was more for me than him. Do you ever hold onto an unsent letter because mailing it would mean facing what you already know?
