I have always loved the film Mary Poppins. I'm not sure there has ever been a time that I've managed to watch it without crying. When I was little it was always the moment that Mary Poppins left. Since being a parent it is always a little bit earlier. The scene between Mr Banks and Bert after the Chim Chimeny song, I think the lyrics
"You've got to grind, grind, grind
At that grindstone
Though child'ood slips like sand through a sieve
And all too soon they've up grown
And then they've flown
And it's too late for you to give"
As the tears rolled down my face, both girls stared at me and questioned why I was crying. Mima got tissues and wiped them away.
