Dad Overcome With Emotion After Dropping Daughter Off At College

One father struggled to keep it together after dropping his little girl off at college.

As every parent knows and understands, children can be tiring, frustrating and even overwhelming. However, parents would not trade time spent with their children for anything. It seems like no time, and they are all grown up, moving out and ready to handle life on their own.

A video posted on TikTok shows one who seems to slowly come to the realization that one chapter of his life has drawn to a close. In the clip, as the video’s caption points out, a father watches as he drops his daughter off at college.

The man’s wife was the person who captured the moving and heartfelt moment.

“Caught my husband watching his life walk away from him after we dropped her off at college,” she wrote in the video’s caption

The father stands and stares off into the distance. For most of the 20-second video, the dad appears to be on the verge of tears. However, at one point, a big smile comes over his face. The reason for the man’s momentary smile is due to his daughter turning back and looking at him, according to Sunny Skyz

But soon enough, after the smile, the man’s face returns to its near-tears state. 

The sweet display of emotion, love and care from the father is enough to cause even the most stoic and unemotional people to shed a tear or two. 

Many people responded to the precious moment on TikTok.

“Give the man a tissue! No give him a hug! Don’t mind me, I'm in tears too!” one person wrote.

“Aweeeee his “world” is in a new place and he can’t bubble wrap her and keep her safe now,” a second person added.

“My daughter is only 10 months old and I’m already scared of this moment,” a third TikTok user posted. 

Psalm 103:13 “As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.”
