I have watched you slip further and further away. You hardly ever smile anymore. I miss my happy, upbeat friend. Maybe it is time to make some changes.
I realize that trust is the most fragile piece of any relationship and is a lot harder to repair than to build in the first place. Please try?
All that aside, what impresses me the most about you is the person of character and integrity you have become. I am very proud to be your parent.
