No matter how much you rationalize the rightness of your children flying the coup, it still leaves a hole in you when they do leave. Likewise though it is so heavenly fulfilling when you get to see them again. Of course this applies to any loved one, not just your children.
The sadness is balanced by the happiness, while if you don't part it is more of a constant. The challenge of parting creates more space for joy and appreciation later.
