Dear T,

Aw. Thanks for saying you're proud of me. That means so much to me. I don't quite know how to articulate how nice that makes me feel, and unless I figure it out I don't really want to tell you... but maybe I should try? Maybe I shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good? I dunno, maybe I'll email you the day it happens (maybe when I'm a little tipsy hahahah). Or maybe I should wait to do it "in person" (over Zoom)?

I dunno. Either way, it was really nice of you to say that, and to get all choked up about it.
