“It was sad for me, just knowing that time had flown by so fast,” the 55-year-old father told InsideEdition.com Wednesday night.

The pair lugged the younger Brockman’s stuff into his freshman dorm last week.

The 17-year-old posted the now-viral images in a tweet that read: “From the first day of kindergarten to college move in. Thank you, dad.”
