There's something I've always wanted to talk to you two about, and I know it's a difficult conversation, but I care about you both so much, and I know you both care so much about each other, so it's really important to set some boundaries in the future so we can Create an environment where we all feel comfortable, trusted, open, and able to share our feelings…feelings…feelings… God, the truth is, I’ve forgotten what feelings are for too long, I’m stuck in the same A place, you can call it a cave, a deep, dark cave, and then I put some waffles in the forest, and you came into my life. For the first time in a long time, I'm starting to feel again, I'm starting to feel happy. But lately I feel like I have distanced myself from you, as if you were pulled away from me, and I miss playing board games with you every night, making three-tiered super deluxe waffles at sunrise, watching together Westerns fall asleep, but I know you're growing, growing, changing. I guess, if I'm being completely honest, that's what scares me, and I don't want things to change, so I thought, maybe that's why I'm here, to try and see if I can... stop the change, turn back time , to bring things back to their previous state. But I know it's naive, life is not like this, life is dynamic, always moving, whether you like it or not, yes, sometimes it's really painful, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's amazing and happy. So you know what, keep growing, kid, and don't let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from them, when life hurts you - it will happen, remember this pain, this pain is a good thing, it means you are out of that cave, but, please, if If you don't mind, leave the door an 8cm gap for your poor old father's sake.
