When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called ‘Brownie’. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was a wrong. When I looked at her and said, ‘Bad girl.’ She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovely dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Dear John,

You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understanding what I’ll tell you in this letter. But I’ve thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the difficulties that you’ll face.

I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I've learned. As with any advice, take it with a grain of salt. What works for me might not work for you.

Life can be unkind

There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind

to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.

Be open to life anyway

Yes, you’ll face something that you don’t know in your life, but don’t move back from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.

Life isn’t a competition

You will meet many people who won’t fall behind you, in school, in college, at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It’s a journey. Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness and success.

Love should be your rule

If there’s a word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love your loved ones, and your classmates, your co-workers, strangers, even those bad men. The person who is hardest on you, unkind to you ..., love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.

Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but really wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.

Love Your Dad
