Dear Will,
Tonight you went to stay with Grandma Margaret for a few nights. I am excited and apprehensive at the same time. I think it's cool that you are looking forward to staying overnight away from home, but a little sad that you don't need us for everything anymore.
You are showing a real sense of humor all the time. The recent tragedy involving the kindergarten shootings struck a little too close to home. I would gladly take a bullet for you. Or 10.
Love,
Dad
