To my future child, 

Hi. I’m your dad. Wow does that feel weird to write down on paper jeez.  If i’m being honest I never saw myself being a father. I know that I have a dad-like personality but maybe it was because I never grew up with one that I couldn’t see it for myself. I wondered if that time would ever come and how I’d feel. I thought I’d for sure have a smokin’ hot wife, a nice job and a killer house. But life doesn’t happen like that. I’m sure when you’re old enough to read this letter I will have plenty more life tips by then but take this as my first one. Nothing goes as planned pretty much ever. I met you mom through friends, and we aren’t the best of pals but one thing is for sure it that we already love the heck out of you. I can’t promise we’ll be together, or never not fight or agree on things but I do care about her and I can’t say what the future holds because kid I’m no genie.. but I do know that I’ll always watch out for her and you and always do whatever I think is in your best interest. 

I’ve never had a dad, and so I know nothing about being the perfect one. But what I do know is that I will always be there for you. I will always have your back, be on your side, answer ever call, kiss every scrape, be there for every bad dream and make you laugh at corny jokes. I won’t let anyone ever hurt you and if you ever need a friend or want to go get ice cream we can. I know that I’m not going to be a perfect dad and will definitely do things wrong, or have to be the bad guy at times. But I will never give up on you. I won’t ever make you feel like you aren’t my entire world and that there is anything else out there better than being your dad. You’re the dream come true I didn’t know I needed. You’re already the best thing to ever happen to me. 

Love,
