I think I know where you're coming from. I had to grow up too fast, too. [ Not like Tony did. Not literally. But the principles apply. ] And when I had to leave behind the woman who raised me... I didn't know what to do without her, either. So, I hear you. It's tough.
[ And his presence is gentle; an extended hand, if Tony wants to take it. ]
I can help you, if you need someone. I haven't been through what you have, but in a way, I think I've already lived it. So if you need help taking that next step... I'll take it with you.
