I notice you frequently ask if what I am doing for you is okay, and if I am sure...and I want you to understand that your friendships...your relationships are very important to me. I want to see you and your brothers grow up happy as well as healthy. And though I would much rather see you stay by my side forever...I try not to stifle you, either.

I would move entire oceans for you. I would call down the very stars from the heavens to create something beautiful for your friend if it meant that you were happy. I want you to understand that, no matter what, you will always come first.

[Perhaps even before his love of the world and its continued existence.]
