Happy trails, Boy. I hope you find the things in life that bring you closer to truth, to happiness, and to that difficult transition from boy to man.

I hope that I do too. Except for the man part.

In all honesty, I feel like a tremendous weight has been lifted. Yes, goodbyes are always difficult. Yes, there were tears (probably all mine). Yes, there will be moments of weakness where my heart will ache, and my body will long, and my soul will heave, but I will be fine. One of these days, I will be just fine. A little bruised, maybe. A little more guarded. A little less likely to let myself fall again. Smarter, but colder. Stronger.

Closure is what I've been after. It's enough.

And to whomever let the proverbial cat out of the bag, thanks a lot. Is my sarcasm apparent?

I mean, nobody reads this thing, right?


The End.
