I can't wait to attend your school events!

I read a very sad story today about a father who dropped his son off at the boy's soccer game and said he would be back in a couple of hours to pick him up. The son told him he thought he was going to stay for the game. The father said he was very busy but promised to go to the next game. His son told him that this was his last game.

I understand that you must feel disappointed when I am not at your school, church or other events. I am disappointed, too, that I am not there.

However, you need to know that unlike the father in the story, I want to attend and would attend such events. Unfortunatley, others have made it so I am not allowed to. I am working very hard at changing this, but the very people who won't let me attend your events keep working to prevent me from getting this changed.

It will be a happy day once this is overturned, and I go to your school event. I will be very proud of you!
