Hey lemmy daddies! Have you seen the dad letter project? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

It's a charity set up for dads to send letters to people who don't have a dad! Website is here and NBC article is here. Become a dad is here for anyone retired or anything who has the time.

Thought you might find it interesting (although obviously none of the dads are as great as you)

This is so sweet, I might cry. I have a dad but he's...not the best. I can't ever imagine receiving heartfelt praise or encouragement from him. The men doing this deserve all the hugs and thanks 🤍
