On your 10th birthday I wrote you a story from 1977 when I was 10.
For your 11th birthday I gave you 111 songs.
For your 12th birthday I selected 12 poems for you.
For your 13th birthday I wrote a philosophy book for you - 13: A Clue as to Why I am Not So Confused Anymore
On your fourteenth birthday I give you twelve plays I would like us to read together.
I know it can be hard to find time to read together, but I know that when we do, lying on your bed or curled in a chair, we both laugh - even at the serious bits. Making up funny voices or mispronouncing the words. So this is as much a gift for me as for you.
It might take us a lifetime to finish these plays, but lets try.
Love Dad.
The pays are:
1. Dylan Thomas - Under Milk Wood
2. Luigi Pirandello - Six Characters in Search of An Author
