congratulating kerwin

ker's graduation is not until friday, but i might as well congratulate him now lest time deprive me of an opportunity to do so in three days.

but how else can one phrase congratulations? how else can one express pride and joy when someone you know graduates to be practically number one in his class? how can one begin to explain how it is as if i, and not he, is the person marching down the aisle and up the stage to receive the hard-earned and well-deserved award?

is it enough to just continue being the best and true friend that i am, by having his back all the time, no questions asked? is it enough to just help him show the world his worth and thereafter defend him whenever the world loses worth? is it enough to just be with him not because of convenience but because of true friendship and trust?

enough? i honestly don't know.
is it, ker?
