Donald Trump is the president-elect, and we've hit a point where people are realizing how much they are truly going to miss having the Obamas in the White House.

The tough relationship between Obama and Trump definitely exacerbates these feelings.

President Obama is being replaced by a man who started a conspiracy theory about his nationality and referred to him as the "founder of ISIS."

Michelle Obama is being replaced by a woman who plagiarized her speech in front of the entire country.

Yep, this is really happening, and it's difficult to stomach.

The first black president is to be succeeded by a man who was only recently endorsed by the KKK's official newspaper.

It's hard enough saying goodbye to Obamas, but this really stings.

Still, it's kind of comforting to look at photos from the past eight years and be reminded of the dignity, humor and love this couple brought to the office of the presidency.

They've been a presidential couple we can all be proud of, regardless of politics.

Break out the tissues, here are 10 photos of Barack and Michelle that will hit you where it hurts.

The fist bump heard round the world.

And how about that time they grossed out that little kid sitting behind them on the kiss cam? That was priceless.

The Obamas have an amazing sense of humor and aren't afraid to show off their nerdy side.

President Obama has always shown love for the kids.

And the kids loved him back.

They also loved the first lady, and the feeling was clearly very mutual.

But while the Obamas see America as one big family, they've always put their own kids first.

The Obamas entered public life because they believed in America and believed in you — and they still do.

We will miss you. Thanks, Obamas.
