How it Feels to Drop Your Child Off at College

[@Over55Life]

Dropped our wonderful, kind, funny, loving daughter off yesterday. My goodness, the memories are painful. Grateful to have her in our lives.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thanks for the comment. Best of luck!

[@gregjohnson6355]

Memories that will last, for both of you, forever. How special to be able to capture it and share it with fans and friends. Josh, you're a good father.

[@ryanlitster8993]

No one talks about what the Dads go through! Thank you!

[@adriagui6923]

I agree with you! Fathers deserve much more credit than they get. They love just as much, protect, and provide. My husband is a wonderful father and I always make sure our little ones acknowledge all he does for our family ❤

[@helloworld3943]

Then, speak up and participate.

Life is just a circle, sunrise to sunset.

[@maritimetees2315]

Wonderful video. Happy and sad all at the same time. Thank you for sharing.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thanks for watching.

[@Rilkir]

Congrats all around, best of luck to her.

[@jeffcapobianco4674]

Just dropped my son off at college today. Yup emotional. Was linked to this vid from your excellent sailing tutorial. Going sailing tomorrow for the first time in a long while and wanted to brush up! Thanks for sharing!

[@MaliVlogs10]

Watching now. So heartfelt and lovely for you to share such intimate moments with your YT family. Each phase of parenthood prepares us for the next and it is beautiful to see the journey unveil.

[@DarwinCruz-o7t]

that thank 'you for everything ' to her dad was awesome and heartfelt !! GBU guys

[@peterhan6140]

I am exactly same situation now.. I’ve been with my son since he was 2 yrs old.. I have so much memories… he is now going to New York City to attend NYU. I feel so empty…

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Good luck my friend. They will come back.

[@abby9903]

Thanks for the video. Best of luck to your stepdaughter. Easy to see the love you both have for each other. We’re dropping our oldest off at school next week. I expect lots of tears.

[@jackgentry5603]

Thank you for this. Interestingly enough we are sending our daughter south to Santa Barbara City College from the Bay Area. I’m so sad right now because her and Mom just left. I’ve been crying for 2 days 😭

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thanks for watching. Well, ours moved back home after a year. She wanted to be closer to home so now going to Orange Coast College nearby. You never know. It seems most will return home for at least a bit during or after college before really leaving the nest for good, so I imagine yours will be back at some point. Good luck.

[@murrayswanson4715]

Excellent. Very moving.

[@charlenewhite4365]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing 😢😊

[@julioferreira4130]

yes, those monuments are priceless. thank you for sharing, we did the same 6 months ago.👍

[@jostalking]

Beautiful heartfelt video, I just finished my video and I too had so many emotions. Instead of journaling I had to make a video, it’s therapeutic for me as a video editor. The hardest part for me was going back home to the empty room. We moved our son from SoCal to NorCal just like you. Feels like he’s on another planet even though it’s just 6 hours away. Hang in there, I hope it gets better for us sooner than later.

[@joeh773]

Oh man, you had me choking up, both at the beginning and the end! Mine is only 4yo and I am already 'dreading' this :-) Luckily she is now in the phase "we will stay together forever" or "I will marry my mommy" :-DD The two of us drove yesterday to pick up a "new to us" the exact same grill your friends in Carmel have. I guess we should celebrate with ribeyes as well :-) My monkey got to sit in the front seat "daddy, i can see everything from here!" on the way back with the grill in the trunk and over folded back seats. I did not drive steering with my knee though :-DDD My wife and daughter have match/match T-shirts with Maya Angelou, it was great to see the quote. Lovely vid, lovely Kristina, all the best to her! Thanks for sharing.

[@OceanCruisers]

Great vlog mate. I bet this video will bring back a lot of memories for many parents

[@krisgraves9115]

I’m gonna miss you so much Josh, but it’s okay, I’m only a call away!

[@manishgupta1374]

So touching!

[@maivvaj4874]

Thank you so much for sharing, I have all these mixed emotions. I don't know whether to be happy or sad because I'm crying, just the thought of she will be leaving soon for college 8 hours away. Im worried everything.

[@thatsweird8134]

Wow, brought back the feels! I dropped off my daughter the same day at the same school! Thanks for sharing

[@dustinlair7767]

Good work Josh and congratulations

[@TheEleanor1]

Oh So proud of Christina. Please give her my best wishes!! Oh what a fun bright joy your daughter was on Blue Moon! Ellie from Blue Moon x

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thanks! Where are you guys these days? I’m heading to Denia, Spain in 2 week to sail across the Balearics.

[@TheEleanor1]

@@JoshPostVlogs Steve currently in Greece. Sadly my mum passed recently. So I am in London. Blue Moon up for sale xx

[@JoshPostVlogs]

@@TheEleanor1 Very sorry to hear. Sending our condolences. We should meet again for a charter before the boat sales (or after on another boat perhaps). We’ll send an email. 💐

[@TheEleanor1]

@@JoshPostVlogs Enjoy the Balearics! I am sure we will meet up!

[@duanegarcia8487]

Great video and a year jerker,. Love this Grammy Duanes phone

[@mikegavin8144]

Dropped our son off today. Last couple of days have been amazing and brutal at the same time. Miss him so much and yet so happy and excited for him and his journey.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Good luck! New chapter and new experiences.

[@herbescobar4548]

Beautiful.

[@DavidLawFilms]

11 AM check in! Lucky for you. I just dropped my son off for his freshman year and his was 8 AM, two States away! It was a race!

[@ryanlitster8993]

I’m up in Canada. Living in Manitoba. She’s going to University in BC first year. Saw her off a week before University started. It was hard. It’s a beautiful campus. I cried and when the memories start it really hurts. My little girl my first girl is on her own. My movie partner and first good ball. I have a younger daughter at home and she misses her just as bad.

[@jonwinship9099]

I'm speechless.

[@schoeferfilm]

Good ZV1 vlog 👍🏻 thanks for sharing such private moments 🙏 best cinematic greetings from a German KZbin filmmaker

[@JohnDavis-of3di]

Toured Sonoma State a few months back with my daughter, beautiful campus! In 14 days, my daughter leaves for the University of Portland. I can't stop crying and I dont know how Im going to survive without her home.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Best of luck to you. I can only say from experience it definitely gets easier, especially when you find out she’ll be coming home more often than you realized for various breaks, winter, summer, etc. Enjoy the new beginnings into her adulthood.

[@0iplays542]

Thank you for posting this video because i wanna see what its like to become a college student because right now im 11th grade and next school year i will be 12th grade and after all i am finally graduating highschool time goes by so fast and everyday i listen to songs from 2000s because it brings back my good memories from the past

[@EKCPeacekeepin]

You captured the feelings perfectly. I just dropped my son off 2 weeks ago and I still get weepy eyed just thinking about it.

[@anthonyi4996]

Dropping my daughter off in two days and going through the emotions, as a dad, I'm trying to be the strong one for the family but it's hurting me, but i have to keep it together, Thx for this.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Good luck!

[@elisabeth4244]

I’m watching this and I’m tears already my daughter is a senior this yr and when she goes off too college it will be just me …😢I’m not ready to let her go.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Good luck. I will say it gets easier. And then they also come back for several breaks from college, summer break, etc. You begin to realize they aren’t really going anywhere but it definitely starts the process of independence and young adulthood.

[@sharontyson7501]

What town was that beach?

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Carmel. Aka “Carmel by the Sea”

[@duanegarcia8487]

God bless take care this is her uncle

[@jennaletizia5430]

This is so hard for me to let go

[@nan_eol]

"You are not supposed to make holes into the wall" 5 seconds later JOSH drilling a screw 😅

[@TEOKImerch]

I’m happy for my sun, however it hurt so bad still

[@gregorywoodbury7415]

Going through this too. Just dropped her off:) aaahhhhhh!

[@jsr44444]

Feeling really emotional as my daughter goes off to university in 3 weeks. I worry about her safety and well-being as I won’t be there to protect her.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Good luck my friend. They tend to be fine. It’s all part of growing into adulthood, but difficult and emotional for sure.

That’s actually crazy that you saw the president coming down the highway
