Father’s Letter to His Prodigal

Dear son,

When you said you wanted to leave, I knew I had to let you go.  I must say it wasn’t easy when you left.  I stood and watched ‘til the dust had settled from your steps.  I watch the road every day to see if you have chosen to return.  Just in case, so I can run out to greet you.  You still have a place at our table.  You always will, and I will always love you, no matter what.  If you find yourself in need, I’m here for you.  My hope is that life is kind to you.  It can get rough sometimes.  My greatest hope though, is that you will return to your home and here unload your heavy burden.

Eternally,

Your Father
