I probably will at least a little.
Rocking a toddler to sleep right now. Sometimes I tear up just thinking about what a good little guy he is. My wife knows to just pretend she didn’t see it.

Suffice to say, yes I cried when walking out of my son's dorm for the first time.

Everyday ends with the promise of a better tomorrow. Reach out to me. I'll help

No crying at all, I was proud of him wanting to get his own place. It is one step in the path of manhood and responsibility.

I cried at the end of the aisle when we shook hands for his wedding.
Was beaming and so proud of the man I had raised. People in the crowd commented afterward that they could see how proud of him I was.
I just can’t tolerate not being civil and logical in an argument. We can’t work anymore together.
Want to try and see my grandson again. His other grandparents are able bring him on trips and travel. I’m not too good at that.
I want to teach him about tools and boats and fishing. Stuff like that.
A fun day for them is to take an all day drive to go eat at a new restaurant. . Not me. I don’t fit in.
That’s it no more whining from me. I just wish we could have a logical conversation.

Oldest pulled out of the driveway heading to college a little over 11 years ago. Had a hard lump in my throat for a couple minutes after watching him drive away. I remember it well. My emotions were a mixture of being very proud of him, happy for him along with the weight of not being able to protect him.

No, love my kids dearly but didn't cry when they left home. Now had they been conscripted into the Russian Military, they may have been a different story. Both went to college within two hours, so not like they are in China. One even went into the Air Nationa Guard (and has deployed twice and been around the world several times, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa).

Son is 16 and we will do some school visits in the spring. I know I will be emotional with him leaving, but it is because I am happy for him to be starting a new chapter in his life. I know he is ready for this and feel I have raised him well and ready. It will be tears of happiness for him.

I lost my 30 year old daughter 5 years ago. Surprise heart attack. About the same time, my son was moving out and getting his own apartment. He was 20. He was moving in with his girlfriend who he is now married to and has a 5 month old daughter. I am not a emotional person in general but that was a tough time for me and my wife. I worried about him more than I ever thought I would and I still do to this day.
I was a only child and I always felt like my parents were just strong because they let me run free as a kid (it was the times) and was very supportive when I moved out and went to college. I Just didnt know what was happening behind the scenes

Our twins are seniors and one dreading that time. They are golden hearted young men and we all spend alot of quality time together.
If they are at aTm it’s 50min……TxTech is 8.5hrs away. Fingers crossed they are Aggies.
Just like someone said, it sure as hell is a mortality thing.

I tear up just looking at older photos of my two girls. 9 & 4
I’m a pussy when it comes to my babies growing up.

It’s not that I was glad that he moved out. He was 18 and ready to tackle the big, bad world and I am proud of him. He had his own apartment, held down a job, and was going to school. It was a lot on his plate but he wanted to do it. I was married and out of the house at 19, so it would have been a little hypocritical of me to try to keep him tied at home. The sooner you learn about the real world the better chance you have to survive in it. Make the mistakes and learn the lessons while you’re young.
