I've already got a general note started for my dad and siblings. I'm also wondering if I should leave a note for a teacher of mine that I've had for years.
I want to tell him how much he means to me and that I've always seen him as a parental figure (and many others do too). Constantly waiting to slip up and call him "dad". How I wanted to make him proud because I figure that's more likely then getting my mom to love me. That I can't let myself drag down his program any longer when it's starting to finally spread its wings.
I'm too worried about sounding like a creep to tell him in person, but I also don't want to screw him up with emotional baggage.
Should I do it? Write it out and shred it? Post it in r/unsentletters? This whole mess would be easier if there was a definitive black-and-white guide...
