Father's Day--Ideas for Writing About Dad

I love reading notes my kids give me.  It gives me an idea about how they see me. I thought it would be cool this year for Father's Day to encourage my kids to write a little about their Dad, either in their Journals or in a letter to him.  (In Young Women on Sunday, I am going to have the Beehives write a note to their dads too.)

Here are some writing prompts for getting started.
