Brother,
You are amazing.
Your actions teach and inspire.
Your words sooth and educate.
You keep me in check.
You accept others.
You don�t accept your own (minor) shortcomings.
I admire your commitment to the pursuit of personal growth.
I admire how much you�ve already grown.
You are the funniest motherfucker on the planet.
Even when you become �dragon boy.�
Especially when you become dragon boy.
You cause smiles.
You brighten days.
You brighten lives.
I beam when I tell stories about you.
I swell with pride when I introduce you as my brother.
I�ll miss you terribly.
I�m so glad you�re going.
I hope your journey is filled with wonder.
And learning.
And opening up.
And laughter.
And some tears.
You fill my world with positive energy every day.
It�s only fair you share yourself with the world.
I love you.
And will be with you every day.
-John
