Dear Dad,
I am writing this letter to you at your office because I want you to tell Mom in your own words…There is no sense trying to fool ourselves, we are going for sure. The only thing is how do they expect you to tell your parents…Tell Mom I wished I could have told her myself, but I just didn’t know how.
Your son,
Bob
