Letter to Edward from Charlie
June 23, 2005
Dear Edward,
I am writing to you today to thank you for making a father's biggest dream for his princess coming true. Thank you, Edward, for loving my Isabella the way that you do. Thank you for taking care of her and making sure that she knows her worth. I tried to ensure that she has good self-esteem and self-worth. I know that she would not have half of her belief in herself if she did not have you in her life. I can't thank you enough for the support you have been for her.
Contrary to what you might think, you are the best man for her. Not even Jacob would have supported her the way that you have. While he is going to be a good man, you will be able to make her dreams come true. I am proud of your ambition to get into Yale to be a doctor. I know that you will succeed in that and in helping Bella become the best lawyer she can be.
I am proud of the man you are and the one you have yet to become. You easily could have turned into an asshole like someone else we know. But you refused to. You are an amazing big brother to your sister and brother and will make an amazing father when the time comes. I just hope it is a few years from now. But, whenever my future grandbaby comes, I will love them with everything in me.
It has been a pleasure to watch you grow up into the man you are and to watch your love story grow and blossom. I love you, Edward. Thank you for loving the most precious part of me. My Isabella. We will see you at the altar, and I am honored to stand by your side as you marry Isabella.
Love,
Dad (or whatever you want to call me)
Charlie
