Blake Brewer is on a mission to help 1 MILLION Dads write at least one well written, meaningful, lasting Legacy Letter to their children. Blake has three children under 5.

Today, Blake shares how losing his father and the letter he left changed the course of his life. Blake’s story reminds us that a father’s approval, attention, and adoration mean everything to their children.

Great quotes from Blake:

If there’s a God, do I even want to follow a God who would allow this to happen?

It was so healing for me to share to start to minister to other people and allow God to work through me.

Every time I was scared, I would go back to my dad and it was like courage from my dad.
