Okay, as one parent to another, lets go through the steps. 1) You raised him, right, didn't you? 2) He's met someone nice, didn't he? 3) You trust him to do the right thing, don't you? 4) He'll make you proud, won't he?
Here, drink this (hands you a real schnaps, not that nasty stuff the kids drink full of sugar and "flavor", this is booze without question and will knock you on your heels if you don't respect it).
Amazing how attached we get. I still miss my Jeep, that I gave up six years ago, and every time I see one of the right model/color driving around, I wonder if it was once mine.
I sold my old Toyota Corolla (my first-and-only stick shift) to a co-worker when it was 13 years old. I was in the Atlanta office, co-worker is in Mississippi. She then sold it to someone there, who transferred to Houston. And 5 or more years after I'd sold it, another co-worker sent me a picture of it sitting in a Houston parking lot.
It was nice to see the old thing, still in service. *sniff*

Meanwhile, Kuro is feeling his oats. He's already hanging his posters on the other side of the garage.

He'll always be your baby.
