Do the kids cry too?

I dropped my son off yesterday. Neither of us cried but I did have the satisfaction of him not letting me leave easily. I kept saying I had a long drive home and he kept suggesting things I could do like help him set up his computer, get something to eat, unpack. It was a nice feeling. The evening before, he and his GF invited me to a movie and I was treated to small gifts (iced chai put in my hand when I arrived, packets of candy dropped in my bag) plus my hand was held when we climbed steps in the theater and in the dark. Very sweet. No tears thank goodness but real emotion anyway.
