Letters From An All Too Familiar World: The Beginning  

December 15, 2005 -

This entry starts the turn of a page in my life, to further my understanding of my life and the life of a man I once called "Dad." This, which I am about to show you is a compilation of letters written by the hand, and led by the heart of Mr. Douglas Howard Brooks. Written for mine eyes only, however, addressed to my younger brother as well, in my fathers hope that my brother, Daniel, would read and understand. two years after the passing of my father, I now know Daniel will never understand, although read these letters. Emotional strength is my ally right now, so bear with me as I compose something never done before with these body parts...
"A Collection of Letters written by Douglas Howard Brooks," rewritten by daughter and friend, Allyson Katherine Brooks. I warn you now, many things will be repeated in the general sense, however, separate and at different times.

The road less traveled will now become a superhighway.

All letters are in chronological order...
