Description
My son had his first lesson in heartbreak this week when his preschool ended. He loved that school, but it couldn’t go on forever.It’s an important life lesson to have—after all, everything comes to an end eventually. As a dad, watching him grow up and learn this lesson was kind of bittersweet.

Thanks! It was a pretty tender moment from a dude who tends not to be tender so often, which made it extra special.

AWW. This is so, so lovely! I was leaving my friends after college, going back home last December and it felt exactly the same. You've captured it SO beautifully! Here's hoping your son will be happy again!

He's recovered by now.
And it seems as though this is a pretty universal experience based on some feedback I'm getting.

Oh goody.
It's also how well you've translated the experience into that comic. Cheers!

It's true. This is his first of many encounters with sadness--we both need to toughen up!

I hope he has grown from this--Can you see it, yet?

Lots of emotion put into this!

Awww. At least he loves school I honestly hope he continues to the rest of his life. Things aren't always so kind later on...

Tell me about it. Loving school aside, I hope he just keeps on loving to learn.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just let him know that Power corrupts and knowledge is power so if he keeps on learning he can give Lex Luthor a run for his money. =B

Haha! I WILL tell him that.

Hahahaha XD Glad to give you a laugh.

Fantastic pace and story telling.
And one remembers these small catastrophes, that seemed insurmountable and then, soon suddenly was nothing - because new things would happen.

Well said. As we grow, those things that seemed so big do feel smaller, don't they?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very much so - which is encouraging, for the seemingly insurmountable problems we're currently facing will also be merely trifles later in life.

I know! He's all better now, though we still aren't "allowed" to say school around him.

I don't think we can. And that kind of makes it doubly hard.
