What’s going on? You haven’t seen him in more than two years. What’s up? Because Florida isn’t that far from Tennessee. I know; I walk it, mentally, every day.
So I hope the old stuff won’t mar the new stuff. Going to be different, living so close that you can ask to use the microwave.
If it doesn’t “seem like” you all need to be so close, don’t take the easy way out and let it be. He probably needs a friend right now. And you might need a dad.

I am afraid I don’t know your backstory though you do have one of the cool & memorable Dope names. If you care to give a Readers Digest version of how this affects you I would appreciate it.
Certainly though I wish you well. Your op has the sound of happiness to it. I hope it’s true.
