Words I Wish Someone Had Said to Me As a Kid
I wrote this book of encouraging words to help young people as they make their way in the world. Every girl and boy needs to hear such words. I know I did. You see, I lost my father when I was very young and missed hearing the words that a child needs to hear from his or her dad.Growing up, I tried hard to imagine the things he would have said to guide me if he were around. A few years ago, right before Father?s Day, I longed for my dad very much, and to seek comfort I began writing a letter from him to me, saying some of the things which I so wanted to hear?that he was proud of the person I had grown up to become and that he loved me very much. Writing the letter helped me that day and I continued to write more letters in the voice of a father talking to a child. In time, these letters grew into this book to inspire children. If you?re a young person reading this book, think of each page as a personal letter of caring words from me to you, like the ones an older friend or relative might say to you. I hope young readers will turn to the book whenever you need a good word or when you are feeling lonely or unsure. If you are a parent or teacher, you may find some of the thoughts offered echo what you may have said to a child in your life, or perhaps they will give you new ideas for future personal messages. You can also read and discuss the book?s thoughts with a young person.
