Dear Dad,
Dad, you are a very good man for how you act. How nice you are to other people
instead of Evelyn and I. You work hard for the things that you do for us. Your soul is
the muscle in me that makes my heart pump every day. You are the man that I will
be looking up to for the rest of my life.
You're the shield of the family, thats why you're special. The
passion in my heart cares more about you than cars because you
are special for the reason of being a good, caring man.
You take me to Monster Jam, the fair, the tractor pull, stuff like that
makes Evelyn and I happy. You make money for working to keep us
alive. You make me feel safe around you and cared for.
I love you because you are the best man I ever met and you care
for me the most. You have looked out for me when you and mom
were divorced. I love you because you try.

Sincerely, Rylen Watchorn
