One user wrote, “I still remember those days. My dad used to come meet me, and when he left, I kept watching until he disappeared from sight.”
Another commented, “This breaks my heart. I also understand if parents made this choice because they had no other option.”
Some parents reflected on their own dilemmas. One mother confessed, “I want to send my son for a few days because he depends on me too much. I’m scared about what will happen if someday I’m not there. He needs to learn responsibility.”
Others looked back with nostalgia, “I have lived this. I feel it even today. No regrets, those were some of the best days,” a former boarding school student shared.
Another added simply, “I still remember waiting for my uncle.”
As the video continues to circulate, it has become a powerful reminder of the emotional bond between children and their parents, and the quiet strength young kids show while navigating life away from home.
