I'm getting a bit teary for you. Damn, that must suck. (Yeah, I'm really helping, huh?)

I'm thinking about how eye-rolly I got whenever my parents made a fuss about me leaving home. I didn't see it from their side at all. That didn't mean I didn't love them. Keep that in mind when Cord says "aw, Mom, stop it" when the time comes. He'll get it someday.
