There is a reason I very rarely post here. My comments NEVER come out right. Usually my fingers are two steps ahead of my brain.My comments just don't come out right.
I'm afraid I am that thick..
Sometimes I wish that I was as emotionally thick as two short planks.
You said it perfectly. It is the going back that is so hard to watch. The last hug, seeing him try to hold back the tears even thought he's excited to return, the brother hug where they both hold on longer than you expect, watching him walk through airport security with the stuffed sea bag and turn around for one last look. Mine heads back Saturday. We are all excited for his opportunities and we will love his pictures and texts once he gets there. He is where he should be but man, the leaving is so hard. Every. Single. Time.Even after two full years, it's still not easy watching my son go back. It's all fine and normal when he actually gets back, but it's the going back that is hard to watch. His best buds since grade school just left after watching the Bucks-Suns game. All trying to be cool while their eyes are misting. Tomorrow will be Mom and brother and sis before he heads back. Can't wait for that one... But it's all worth it. Everyone, including him, knows this is where he belongs.
That wasn't me emoting. It was the gin.I appreciate dads on this forum emoting and sharing.
Fiver years ago, my DS attended a regular university about 3 hours away from home, so the trepidation of seeing him off to college was not quite the same for my wife and I.Even after two full years, it's still not easy watching my son go back.
