That Moment When

The Advertisement that made me sob

So, I've said it many many times--

ZoomBoy had the things he loved pulled out from under him in a heartbeat--drama, choir, and dance-- and he has not been okay.

And I've been so worried, and tonight I saw this ad, and I lost my shit. One minute, I was knitting and sort of barely paying attention to TV and the next this ad came on and I was sobbing. Squish wanted to know what was wrong, and Mate said, "You cry all the time. Mom needs to feel that way too."

And I will never be able to watch this damned ad without sobbing my heart out, so I thought I'd share it with you.

Barbara Douglas Ok. Yeah. My kids (I'm at a similar stage to you, three launched, three to go) are all happy to stay home, but that ad still made me cry too. Thinking about it, part of why they've not felt the loss of school has been being dragged into singing and doing skits for livestreamed services; performers need to perform.
