A Lunchbox Note Written From My Grandfather To My Mom That I Found Tucked Away In An Old Photo Album

By Boonegoone • December 3, 2024

"Dear Sweetheart,

Well, here I am at the PTA meeting and no one seems to be around.

It’s been so many years since I sat at a chair this small and with shaking hands scribbled my first words. What a chore!

Now that I look back, it wasn’t really that long ago. Life goes by very fast and we must study hard to prepare ourselves for the day when we spring from the nest to face the world alone.

We may never be rich, great, or well known, but I hope that someday we’ll be able to look back and say with pride that we did our very best.

Work real hard and share a smile with a friend.

Love, Daddy"
