Letters to Dad

Meet Dad

He's a real guy in his sixties who reads every single letter himself — usually with a tall glass of iced tea. Forty-some years of fixing, failing, apologizing, and figuring it out, now on tap for anyone who needs a dad to talk to. His kid built the site; he brings the wisdom.

Pull up a chair,
kiddo.

The door's always open.
