Authors note:
When I was 13, my father had passed a way. He had spent the last 5 years of his life in treatment center for TB. He had been allowed to come home about 6 months before he died. I never knew how he felt about me. On my son Paul's 12th birthday and my son Christophers 13th birthday, I had clock plaques made for each of them.
That was 10 years ago. A friend at
work recently mentioned he wished his father would have told him how he felt about him before he died.
I share these with you in hopes that you may leave a letter or two for your children.

Christopher Shawn Jones
I named you after the patron saint of the wander, the pawn broker. In the eyes of some he is just a legend. He carried Christ and the sins of the world across a small river. You carry the nick name pumpkin, bestowed on you by the nurse who helped deliver you, you also carry the responsibility of doing the good I have not completed. You are strong willed and self directed, you will succeed. You have the very special gift of internal motivation use it wisely. You are my crutch. I turn to you when I need strength, when I need an honest answer, as to what I am
how I look, what I have done, you hold back nothing, you are my mirror, you are my reflection. Christopher be the man God intended, you will be a servant to the world. I love you, dad.

Paul Joushua Jones
You are the sunshine of my life. From the moment you were born, you have given me the rays of hope, faith and love. When I am sad you find a way to make me smile. You repeat the words, I tell you, "remember the Jesus way"; you direct me with my own words. You remind me of my obligations, you hold me accountable, to the good I preach you to do. You push me to the limits. Yours is the voice I carry with me, your faith is the drive that keeps me going. I love you Paul, dad.
