I wonder if all parents are sentimental like me.

Right after the wedding of my son way back 2008, I can't find the exact words to describe how I felt after I realized that he would no longer be staying with us. I have two sons. The other is working in St Luke's Medical Center so he is away from us and now my other child is leaving home to start his own. I felt so lonely that time. It was then that I realize it is hard to give up your child for marriage. I could remember well when my father told me it is always hard for a parent to give their children for marriage no matter how old they get. Until now I have not recovered yet. I still miss them both. In fairness, they call us frequently. This time I started to worry about getting old and being away from my children. I miss those days when we go to church together, hang out together, and share our plans together. Me and my husband share the same feelings. Though I know he manages well his emotion unlike me who gets sentimental most of the time. I wonder if all parents are sentimental like me 'coz I heard some parents to be okey even if their children are away from them.
