A heartbreaking Christmas letter written by a child to their dead father was found tied to a balloon in Scotland and has gone viral online.

The letter, which was found in a field in the county of Fife, was covered in hearts and included Christmas wish list as well as the child’s dream for their father to leave a note under their pillow.

It is not known where the child is a girl or a boy, but the letter read: “Hi dad, just writing a letter to tell you I’m missing you and tell you news”
