Dear Rainy,

I suppose that every father wants to give his son some final words of advice before he leaves home for the last time. Or is it the first time? I always get these two things mixed up. I know it’s the first time for you. But it’s the last time for me. The problem is: what should we say? I'm sure that we all want to say something memorable during these final moments of goodbye. But the only thing I can think about right now is to remind you again about how to tie your shoelaces.
