It's a sad fact of life, Winged One. Boyhood is but a fleeting moment.
Liam said himself that it's becoming too difficult for him to continue
trying to be 12. The time has come for him to move on, and, as a teen,
and then a young man, his immense talent will continue to flourish and
mature. Tonight marks the end of his life as a boy. Celebrate, for him
and with him, and wish him Godspeed on his journey to manhood. You
haven't, no way, seen the end of him.
Take care.
