This actually made me tear up... Now I need to go buy Animal Crossing and play with my Mom!

officially first reddit post to make me cry.

[–]Pubismonz 7 points8 points ago

In Animal Crossing your Mom in the game sends you presents all the time, that's why the letters are all the same. It wasn't the real mother sending them, just the game.

Sorry to ruin your heartwarming moment.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, this is 100% true. Still a heartwarming story though!

Nope!. Every time I watch this I tear up, Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby! Don't you put that on us!.

This is so f**king depressing! I love you mom! TT ^ TT I love you!!

[–]Buhnanah 0 points1 point ago

I feel like this makes me more depressed than warm and fuzzy. I'd feel like shit if my mom was sending me presents with messages attached to them, and I was there making fun of her. I feel like i'd want to spend more time playing with her, than making fun of her after she'd had passed away.
