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

Thanks to all those people who serve the society by adopting the orphans. Orphans who could have gone in 100s of directions otherwise.

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.
