My son, Adrian, and I have a long tradition of exchanging letters every Christmas morning. Over the last twenty years the letters reflect the maturity of a small boy into a well-adjusted young man. This journey of self-discovery proved to build and fortify our unique father son relationship. This tradition served to allow Adrian to grow spiritually and emotionally and learned to express his deepest feelings. My letters to Adrian gave me the opportunity to express ideas that I believed to be important as he develops his character.
This short book captures the essence of the growth of our relationship and brief stories to emphasize a point of character development. My intention in writing the book is to assist others in developing deep and healthy relationships with young people. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.
