((HUGS))
I remember collecting my DD on her last day. I held back the tears all the way home and then sobbed as soon as I got indoors. She'd been there since a baby... they'd helped bring her up. She was totally bewildered by my crying and sniffles of "I'm really going to miss them".
Oh and then I cried some more when I read all the reports and work that came home with her.
In my defence, I was 8 months pregnant.
