My Uncle David has developed quite the cult following. So, to appease the masses, I'd thought I'd share the two page yearbook letter (click to enlarge) he wrote for my cousin Melissa when she graduated from Roland Park Country School in Baltimore. I think I just heard an audible groan clear from Bedford, NY. Sorry MAC, comes with the blood relation territory I guess...

Oh my goodness Alice! Absolutely beautiful and stunning. Can't keep the tears at bay. This letter is told for every parent with a girl. Having two girls of my own...it's my story too. Thank your uncle for me.

That is absolutely wonderful. What a treasure for your cousin Melissa to have.
ReplyDeleteA, yes, I did just groan here in Greenwich. It was definitely a good one, though. To give your readers some sense of my dad's range, how about Nana's funny obituary? It was picked up by the Associated Press and distributed nationwide. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you to your Uncle David for a letter that is universal in truth for all of us parents of fabulous daughters. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis makes me wish I could give my daddy a big hug and tell him how much I love him. Melissa this is an amazing keepsake, you are so lucky :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've read anything so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteHello in Greenwich MAC! Nana's obit just happened to be your dad's debut here. It was the piece that garnered him his cult status. If you put "Uncle David" in the search box you shall find the beginnings of a collection..XXOO Alice
ReplyDeleteHello niece, Being the mother of Melissa I can verify that everything in Uncle David's ode to Melissa is true. The wonderful part is reading it again 15 years later and loving every word. XXOO Mom.
