A letter of gratitude to my dad

Dear Dad, Thank you for the gift of the land that you poured your heart and soul into for so many years. You truly created a special place in the woods of North Idaho, and I consider it a blessing and a privilege to be able to carry on your legacy on the property. The kids and I just spent a week there for Thanksgiving, and it was extra special being able to invite a friend along to join us. Thank you for allowing us to have vision for the Casita nine years ago and for all the hard work you put into fixing that up and making it livable so that more than one family could enjoy the property at a time. I wish you could see what Julie has done to the yurt space. We are considering renaming it, I hope that’s OK, but what you built up there in the garden area is really not a yurt at all and I feel like calling it that does it an injustice. It’s another one of your creative masterpieces and has so many of your special touches and quirks built-in. She has added insulation and finishing touches...
