I know, having myself lost a parent too soon, that being without a father will not be easy for you. But try to remember that loss is an incredible stroke of luck. Yes, luck. For loss carries with it two truths: that you have loved, and that you yourself have had the good fortune to live a little longer. So try not to grieve me too much. But when you do, take down this book and know that my love endures, and I am with you— Always.
