Casey Affleck gets emotional as his son Indiana leaves for college
Casey Affleck still cannot progress with the thought of being away from his son Indiana as he is ready to move to New York for college in August.
In an interview with Haute Living in August which was published on Monday, the actor said:
“He was raised in Los Angeles. He’s moving to New York City,”
“Despite all the traveling I’ve done between the coasts, NYC has never felt as far away as it does now,”
The actor continued:
“My son leaving is the only thing on my mind.”
The Manchester By the Sea star also explained to the magazine the full life he wants for his beloved son.
Affleck said:
“I know he will be fine,”
“It isn’t his safety or success that I worry about. His happiness is what I want. But maybe this, too, is foolish. He will be happy and sometimes unhappy. No life should be anything else.”
The doting father also noted that he wants his child to experience ”ponderosas, loving travel companions, and whales.”
The Golden Globe winner concluded:
“I know that he already values these things. I know that he will seek them out. I know that he meets the fear of the unknown and far away with a brave and curious heart.”

“You are ready for this,”
“You are uniquely wonderful, full of integrity, courage, and kindness. You will be an improvement to the land of ‘grownups.’
He continued:
“And if you go out into the world with curious amazement and sincere gratitude, the world will (eventually) meet you with the same,”
“Please remember that one of the best parts of any adventure … is coming home. … I love you.”

“The best part of parenthood is watching them come into their own. Letting go is the hardest.”

“My son is leaving for university too.”

“We have gone through a lot of ups and downs this year, but how I feel about you has only gone in one direction,”

“I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I am determined to figure it out and keep doing it forever. While it beats, you have a place in my heart. I hope you stay that long.”
