My father wrote a letter similar to that to be read by myself and my four brothers after his passing. I don't know how long before he passed that he wrote it but it sounded like he knew his time was near when he did write it. I think I cried for a week after reading it. Farleycat, your post brought me to tears once again. We should all remember to tell our loved ones every chance we get how much we love them because once they are gone you will wish you could have told them " I love you " one last time .
