Mark, I still carry the picture of my 2 boys when my youngest was getting onto the schoolbus for the VERY FIRST time to go to Kindergarten, and that was 4 years ago! Still remember it like yesterday, both dressed up snappy, their backpacks on as proud as troopers going into battle. Shame sometimes that they have to grow up, but they still look up to me (for now) when they're not giving me a ration of #$@%!!! I know exactly how you feel today!
