As the series finale of Mad Men got underway Sunday night, the show’s fans took to Twitter to offer Don, Peggy, Joan and the rest of the family a proper send-off. And more than a few of them had a tiny little something in their eyes:

I keep crying. I'm going to miss Mad Men more than I expected.

Celebrities joined Twitter’s mere mortals to lament the end of the show’s run:

Please say the Mad Men Finale is 25 hours long!!! #MadMenFinale #gonnamissit
— Kristen Schaal (@kristenschaaled) May 17, 2015

Whoa. Last time we get these Mad Men credits.

Two hours to go until final episode #MadMen. Will any of us be able to sleep tonight? I'm weepy just thinking about saying goodbye.

Less than 20 minutes into the show, fans weren’t the only ones shedding tears. During a tense phone call between Don and Betty, emotions ran high:

The Betty and Don phone conversation...too many emotions! #MadMenFinale

The first time Don ever let his emotions rip through his heart was on that phone call to Betty. #MadMen
