Dear Felix,

I don’t know when you’ll read this.

Maybe you’ll be young and curious. Maybe you’ll be older and looking for answers. Maybe you’ll just stumble across it one night years from now.

But no matter when you find this, I want you to know why it exists.

Before you were even here, I kept thinking about time. How quickly it moves. How easy it is for memories to fade. How many small moments disappear without anyone meaning for them to.

I think part of becoming your father changed the way I look at all of that.

It made me want to leave something behind for you. Not just photographs or videos, but thoughts. Stories. Lessons. Memories. Small pieces of life that might still matter years from now.

I don’t expect these letters to contain all the answers. Truthfully, I don’t think anyone ever fully figures life out. But I hope they help you understand who I was, how deeply you were loved, and what mattered to me while I was here.

Right now, the world moves very fast. Everything feels temporary. People rush through conversations, moments, and even each other. A lot of things are built to be consumed quickly and forgotten just as fast.

I wanted this to be different.

Something slower. Something honest. Something human.

I hope this becomes a place you can return to throughout your life. Not because the words are perfect, but because they’re real.

Some letters may be simple. Some may be about ordinary days. Some may contain advice. Some may just be memories I don’t want to lose.

But all of them come from the same place.

Love.

I hope you grow into someone kind. I hope you learn to be patient with yourself. I hope you protect your curiosity. I hope you build a life that feels meaningful to you, not just impressive to other people.

And I hope that even during difficult seasons of life, you never question whether you were loved.

Because you are. You always will be.

This is only the beginning.

— Dad
