Hey Bub!
How are you doing? I hope you are fine. I know that they told you that Daddy had to go away for a while. Well, Daddy is going to have to stay gone. I've gone to Heaven. I will be watching over you though, ok? So you have to be a good little boy or I will get on to you when you get to Heaven with me. I am going to miss you, Bub. I love you so much. I have always been so proud of you. I will miss you so much. Please don't hurry to come see me though. You can always talk to me. I will be able to hear you here in Heaven.
Love,
Daddy
When you are older, I want you to read this part of the letter.
Parker, when ever I went out into the field before I died, I prayed that you would have a father when you woke up the next morning. I'm sorry that I didn't get to see you that much when I was alive, but never doubt that I loved you. I always wanted you, but I couldn't because of the danger involved with my job. Why didn't I just quit? Well, because as long as I was putting criminals in jail, you would have a safer place to live in. That was so important to me.
I regret that I wasn't able to watch you grow up in person, and that I didn't get to coach your baseball and football teams. However, always know that I was watching down on you from Heaven. I will always be watching over the man you are growing into. You have made me so proud, Bub. Please, teach your son to be at least half the man I know you have become.
Love,
Daddy
