There were many tears shed for both the parties at launch; parents and world racers or the loved one and world racer. 

But both parties did not want to cry in front of the others. 

Well, my mother and I found out a great way to share feelings and not cry. 

You might laugh but it works.  My mom was having trouble giving her thoughts on how happy and proud she was of me. 

So we both went in to the bathroom got in separate stalls and talked that way. 

I feel as you are thinking that we have problems but I would try it out before you dis this because it works! 

Everything was said and no makeup needed to be reapplied.
