Kid's heard this story before. Older than the Calamity itself.

Doesn't change a thing though. Just hits him harder each time.

'Course, it ain't hard for the Kid to relate, losing his mama like that.

You just took the repost and reposted it as a GIF

Bigman1992 · 2 months

I am in tears right now. I'm unashamed to say this, I walked up to my mom, hugged her, told her a that I am sorry for when I am a dick and that her and I will begin to work on our issues because I don't want her to think I am ungrateful. I then started to bawl in her arms. So, as a guy that has a few issues with his mother and held resentment, I thank you for helping me with my view. Edit: Even if this is a repost, it still doesn't take away from how it impacted me.

This is a great story. You should put it up front that this is not your personal experience however.

just a suggestion to whoever made this - make it into a web page instead of animated gif in case anyone blinks while watching it ;p

That's what is crazy about parents. We can never know what it means to love someone until we have children of our owns. I'm glad you found happiness in that.

This brought a tear to my eye. I also lost my mom several years ago. I often reinstall some of her favorite games, just to reminesce... She was a huge Dungeon Siege, Neverwinter Nights and FFXI player. I really miss those days, man. I remember lanning with her, fighting over item drops...

Thank you for this touching post.

ElderBass · 2 months

Great, now I have to buy a new computer because I just flooded my keyboard with tears...

A joke, I wouldn't be able to type this obviously.

Anyway, I can relate, man. My mom has had Parkinson's disease for two years and I have done a lot of research on the disease and I've learned that it's good for you to move your fingers and right hand as much as possible to promote the release of dopamine as much as possible. So once my mom got an iPad, I told her to download Angry Birds and showed her how to play, even though I personally do not care for the game at all. She has since become addicted and plays the game all the time. That makes me happy :)

Edit: Didn't realize this was a repost. Still glad I shared my story

I think the most important thing to get out of this post is to love reddit while you can, before you have seen everything and then have to see nothing but reposts.

This touched me so hard. I lost my aunt, uncle, Nana, and two cousins just last month, so I can really relate. They looked after me when my mom in the grip of drug use, my Nana was more of a mom to me than my mom was.

This almost made me cry. It was beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know your pain. Thanks for posting.

Edit: I hadn't realised this wasn't your work. Either way, still a great post. My condolences to the original author of the comic.

Mom went to the hospital this AM, she's not going to make it. Then I saw this. Such a beautiful metaphor for how despite as kids we may not understand or value the things our parents do, they do it because they love us and are thinking about us. Thank you for posting this.

scooterbeast · 2 months

I hate to be the one to point this out, but don't you get letters and presents from "Mom" in the game automatically? Not saying it isn't a nice story, but I think the author may not have realized that all those letters from Mom weren't from HIS mom, but from his character's mom.

c2dj4boogie · 2 months

I don't mean to take away from this, but ... the game send you presents from a fictional "mom" every so often, and the message sounds like the sort of generic gibberish it would say. Anybody who has ever played this game is probably well aware of this. Given how this story is framed, it may have been concocted as a very elaborate trolling attempt.

apath1a · 2 months

not this again, i see someone posting this every few months, i swear

well, here's another repost for you whiney jackasses... it was the reply I made to the OP further down the thread but it gets wiped out because his post explaining that it wasn't his story was downvoted below threshold and isn't readily seen...

I haven't seen it before, or even heard the story... it touched me though... made me cry a little (and yes, I'm a big tough trucker guy)...

thing is, I lost my mom to cancer 2 weeks before my 17th birthday... stuff like this gets to me and makes me realize that even now, almost 24 years later, she still means the world to me...

I, for one don't care that this is a repost (and I have even done my share of bitching about reposts)... it's gonna be new to someone... and sometimes, it will do some good too...

Polio? In middle age? In a country where you buy videogames, you can get a vaccine as well.

I'm sorry, just not buying this.

You don't "get Polio" anymore unless its Pakistan or Central Africa and not vaccinated.

The disease is ELIMINATED in the Americas, Europe, most of Asia and Australia.
Meaning there are NO CASES PERIOD.

This made me think of my mother. She died from breast cancer in 2010 and this reminded me of how I'm constantly reminded of her. My experience of being reminded of her love for my brothers and I is whenever I see someone that knew her. I always hear how proud she was of me and my brothers and how much of a wonderful person she was. It's a never ending, bittersweet feeling of melancholy. I enjoyed this post quite a bit and I have to say, I wouldn't have appreciated it as much unless I had a similar experience. Thank you Nekomancerr for posting it. It brought me to tears thinking of the memories I had with my mother, and the fond memories I had of her. Here's to a mother's never ending love for her children.
