The Story Behind
Read This Someday
Every book begins with an idea.
This one began with a feeling.
What if I could leave my children something they could return to long after the moments we shared had become memories?
Years before this book existed, I began writing letters to my sons. Not because I intended to publish them, or because I believed I had extraordinary wisdom to share, but because becoming a father had changed the way I understood life.
Suddenly, time felt different.
The days were still twenty-four hours long, but their meaning had changed. Ordinary moments became memories I wanted to preserve, and the future became something I thought about not only for myself, but for the two young lives I had been entrusted to help guide.
I began wondering what they would remember about me.
Would they remember the conversations we had? The lessons I tried to teach them? The mistakes I made and the things I learned along the way?
And more importantly, would they understand the reasons behind the advice I gave them?
As the years passed, I realized that being a father was not simply about providing answers. It was about preparing my children to ask better questions, make their own decisions, recognize their worth, and find their way through a world I could never fully prepare them for.
There were things I wanted to tell them, but I also understood that not every lesson belongs to childhood.
Some words only make sense after disappointment. Others become meaningful after falling in love, losing something important, making a difficult decision, or discovering that life does not always unfold as expected.
I wanted those words to be waiting for them.
That realization became the foundation of READ THIS SOMEDAY.
What began as personal letters gradually became a collection of experiences, reflections, mistakes, lessons, and hopes gathered across different seasons of my life.
Some letters were inspired by moments of happiness. Others came from uncertainty, responsibility, difficult decisions, and the realization that growing older does not necessarily mean having everything figured out.
I wrote about relationships because the people we choose to surround ourselves with can profoundly influence our lives. I wrote about health because taking care of ourselves allows us to be present for the people and experiences that matter. And I wrote about money, work, and responsibility because independence is not simply something we receive; it is something we learn to build.
But beneath those subjects, there was always something more personal.
A father trying to share what life had taught him before his children needed to learn everything the hard way.
As I continued writing, I began to recognize something I had not anticipated.
Although these letters were written for my sons, many of the questions behind them were universal.
We all want to feel understood. We all make mistakes, question our decisions, struggle with uncertainty, and search for reassurance that we are moving in the right direction.
And somewhere along the way, most of us have wished that someone who cared about us had offered a few words at precisely the moment we needed them.
Perhaps a father. A mother. A mentor. Or simply someone who had already walked a similar road.
That thought changed the way I saw this collection.
READ THIS SOMEDAY was no longer only about the words I wanted to leave for my children. It became an invitation for anyone who has ever needed guidance, encouragement, perspective, or the reassurance that someone genuinely cares about the person they are becoming.
I never wanted these letters to sound like instructions from someone who had understood life.
I haven't.
I am still learning, still making mistakes, still discovering that some of the most important lessons come from experiences we would never willingly choose.
But I have come to believe that wisdom does not require perfection. Sometimes it simply requires the willingness to look back, recognize what matters, and share what we have learned with someone else.
This book is my attempt to do exactly that.
One hundred letters, written across time, carrying the thoughts of a father who understands that he cannot always be there to offer advice, but who hopes his words might still find their way into the right moment.
Perhaps they will be read during a difficult season. Perhaps on an ordinary afternoon. Or perhaps years from now, when a familiar sentence suddenly carries a meaning it never had before.
That is the beauty of a letter.
It can wait patiently until someone is ready to receive it.
Because some of the most important things we have to say are not meant to be understood today.
They are meant to be read someday.
