Oh wow! When we took our daughter to live at college, I thought I would be SO cool....until it came time to go. She put her arms around me, and held onto me like she had when she was a little girl. She got tears, and she was so scared she was shaking. That did it! I cried the whole way home!
I thought my husband was the cool, collected one until a week later. He missed her so much that he seriously wanted to go pick her up and bring her home. I had to talk him out of it!
