Dear Dad,
I realize how lucky I am to have you. To think about that day still makes me shudder.
What if you hadn’t returned?
I’d still be an orphan, uneducated and abused, probably living a life of drugs, alcohol and robbery.
Thank you for all that you are, dad.
Love,
The Son You Chose
This is the letter this boy wrote to his dad.
I am participating in the WriteTribe Festival Of Words where the prompt today is to write a letter.

Writing to me is therapy, it frightens and comforts at the same time. Liberates like nothing else. A book in my own name is a dream, but a bigger dream would be to write something that haunts the reader even after the last page is turned and the book is shut. I enjoy reading and music, spending time with family whilst battling my social awkwardness.

How nice it is that the orphan could adopt another orphan.
This is the fun of being a fiction writer – don’t like the way the story ends? Change it. Feeling cynical? Change it back.
I have one story that even I don’t know how it ends. It depends on my mood when I read it.
Very touching, the choice has changed a life forever. Need to read the earlier story though

Wow the way you expressed it in a shot post is amazing! Read the previous story as well, its heart warming..
What a lovely post! I always say that it’s not that DNA but the love you share in your heart that matters. If not for people like these, a lot of deserving people will not be able to achieve their full potential in life.
