Ian's second letter to Daddy

I told you I would write back.

Dear Daddy. I wish you didn't have to die but that's how life works. You live awile then you pass away. Are me and Mommy aloud to come to your cerimony? Hopefully we are. As I said before I am very scared luckily you have those very helpful nurses. Mommy told me that they are going to make you confordable with dieing. Are they? Make sure to not be scared. I mean you can be scared and that's good just make sure your brave. Are you?

I really don't want you to end up like Nana. As I said before that's how life works. Maybee in 6 years half the Stryker family will be dead. Like Granddad or maybee even Uncle Lee. But let's not worry about that now. Right now we need you to feel safe and confordable with all of the new nurses. And if you want you still have the choise to go to the hospital but that's your choise. Bye-bye-dad and I love you with all of my heart and I really mean it. See you after school.
