I titled this a letter from your #1 fan because my dad is the most important person to me and I don’t know what I would do without him. This connects to the pandemic because it is a list of some things I have done with my dad to pass the time while being at home. I chose to submit this type of writing because it was the first idea I thought about and my favorite of the options. I was looking at the list of options trying to figure out what to do and one day the option of writing a letter stuck out to me. I hope that people will relate to some of the things that I have done or learn to appreciate the small things that make their day better.
Dear dad,
Thank you for being there for me everyday during this difficult time. I know that we’re in quarantine and don’t really have a choice to go anywhere else, but you have been my main support no matter how I was acting. Most days, I stay up until god knows when and wake up way too late but you let me sleep because you understand that i'm up all night working on school. Instead of yelling at me to be a better kid and do more school, you come to help me with my assignments and ask me what's due even after the countless times I have yelled at you. On the really bad days, you’re always there and you know how to make me feel better. You sacrifice so much just to make sure that I am happy.
My favorite thing is when we hang out together even in the moments that aren't very big. You come in my room at random times for no reason and we have some of our best conversations. Our mini adventures to the store at 7am to make sure we get there while the shelves are still stocked. On the random days where I get little motivation you drop whatever you’re doing and go outside with me to play catch. Sitting on the couch binge watching our favorite shows and movies. No matter what we’re doing or where we are, you are my best friend, the only one I want to hang out with, the one I look up to, my favorite person. I love you so much thank you for being the best dad anyone could ask for.
Love, Chloe.
