The LETTER from DAD

December 29, 2025

So I witnessed my first TRUE MIRACLE tonight!!

I noticed an old envelope in my mail tonight…the upper left corner said:

309 Division

Buffalo, 55313

I picked it up gingerly and pulled out a 3-page letter from my father, dated Sept. 4, 1989 . . .

I have NO IDEA where this envelope came from…it was JUST THERE!! It was and is a letter from my father as I was recouperating from a bipolar breakdown, as I lay in bed in a Minneapolis hospital!!

It begins:

”Dear Rich,

“What does it mean — to love? The word is surely overused and often misapplied. What do I want you to know when I say the I love you? That I want for you that which is good!”

This letter has red pen marking it up all over, so I guess it was important to me at one time…but tonight I read it anew, and I am overwhelmed AND over-joyed at HOW my dad communicated his LOVE!

Tonight is a starting point for me…something is about to change in my life—and I am ready for it!

Blessings to you as you read this tonight…I have witnessed a Feast of the Holy Family event in discovering this letter tonight…God Bless!

Rich
