Answer 1

That is such a lovely thing to do. Could you get some letters from yours and his close friends, his parents, your parents? Other than that, you could write him a lovely letter telling him how much he means and what he has brought to your life. Give him some extra inspiration and let him know you are behind him 100%. Also, I thought some little poems might be nice to include. I found a couple of sites you might be interested in. Best of luck to both of you!
