Journaling:
Danny, you are amazing. When you were just a baby wearing one of those head-shaping helmets, we used sing Helmet Man to the tune of Elton John's Rocket Man. Little did we suspect that you would grow up to be an actual Rocket Man - a rocket scientist for the company whose rocket engines just sent 4 astronauts around the moon for the first time in over 50 years. You have always been a dreamer and an achiever, working to be the best at what you do and contribute to a better world.

Now as you are "adulting" on your own, I know you are discouraged by today's unaffordable homes, job uncertainties and nasty politics. But, know that you have already achieved so much - you have remained a kind, empathetic person, devoted to progressive causes and justice. You have achieved amazing success in school and your career. We know that our Rocket Man will to soar to new heights as you reach for the stars.
