It feels so strange watching you pack that suitcase and realizing I'll have to learn to let my heart walk around in another zip code, without my silly habit of tracking your every step. I love you with a strength that borders on exaggeration, son, and every mile of this distance will only be proof of the passion I have for the incredible person you've become. Go for it, but keep my pride stuck to the soles of your shoes to keep you grounded.
