SUMMARY
Someone keeps sending his dad letters to Mike. He wants to know who it is. Each letter gives Mike a mission to complete. Like get an A or get your drivers license and take a chance with a girl. Mike try's to accomplish all the goals that his dad wanted him to do. But the biggest mission may be at home and the story's in the letters is more intense than he ever imagined.  Mike's goes through big obstacles to accomplish the goals. He try's to contact his dad army division to see if they any information about his death. What seem's odd to Mike that his dad was killed August 28, 2005 and in the letter Mike's dad said that he only had 249 days. If he only had 249 days left in September 04 he should been back home by the time he was killed. Could this be the last letter? Could Mike's dad still alive?

Signpost
One signpost that I found was ToughQuestion. Mike keeps asking himself if he could accomplish all the goals that his dad wants him to do. Some goals are easy but some are harder then they seem. He doesn't know if he should tell his mom about it too because she doesn't want to make her cry.
