It began as a personal tradition between Buz Ecker and his daughter Rosie daily handwritten letters while she was away at summer camp. Now, it’s blossomed into a movement called The Dad Letter Project. Rosie shared her father’s love of letter-writing on TikTok. Their sweet story caught the attention of thousands of people who requested their own letters from him! Many of these folks had never received a letter or fatherly advice from a father figure before.
Buz now spends his time writing heartfelt, humorous, and sincere letters to strangers everywhere, offering comfort and connection. He says he finds deep meaning in being a “dad” to those who need one, even though he’s still catching up on thousands of requests. Despite the volume, he continues writing one letter at a time, spreading kindness and fatherly wisdom.
That’s definitely something good!
