I just finished a post on 6 Steps to writing a sincere letter of apology.
Then I was feeling silly so I created this post putting those steps into action.
Dear Dad,
1.) I said some things that I am not proud of by making fun of you this weekend at the neighborhood BarBQ.
2.) I know that you were really angry that I disrespected you in public and I know that I hurt your feelings.
3.) I remember when I was little and we spent time together doing things that we both liked to do.
Then you got really serious into your Magic Wizard Games and I feel like we lost touch with each other. I have been stuffing these feelings of loneliness and embarrassment down deep inside me. I lost my temper and said hurtful things in front of our neighbors that I should have spoke to you about in private.
4.) I want us to be able to talk about this. I want to tell you that I am sorry and that I do love you as a dad. Maybe you could come out and support me at my band shows that me and mom do at the public parks once a month. Then maybe I could be more supportive of you in your Magic Games and Animal Puppetry. I hope that we can get our relationship back.
5.) I promise not to unleash my fury on you like that in public again.
6.) I am sorry that I didn’t control my anger and my words. Please forgive me for hurting you.
Your Son,
Duncan

This was a great and brave thing for your son to do, especially to allow it to be voiced so publicly

That’s so sweet! Sometimes something so simple as an “I’m sorry” really CAN mend a broken heart. Words can hurt but most times they can heal.

I guess these people were lost on the fact that this post was just a spoof? LOL

I think people do not remember how to write letters in general anymore. I like the cute cartoon though.
