This one makes me very sad :(
July 16, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I’m with Lara on this!
Team spend some time with you mom.
-or-
Team buy your mom a lightbulb.
July 16, 2008 at 1:10 pm
wow … this emitted a lot of emotions in me. i think i need to call my mom.
July 16, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Only a mother can make you feel this guilty while being so sweet. I love her!
July 16, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Aww, that is so sad. Robyn, I agree, I have to call my mom! I totally know my mom would sit in the dark waiting for me :(
July 16, 2008 at 11:34 pm
OMG! I love you momma :( I wanna run home and give my mom a big hug now! Don’t wait ’till it’s too late people!
July 17, 2008 at 7:01 am
I agree, my mother died of cancer this March and a hug was one of the last things I got to give her. You may want to believe they will be there forever but they won’t.
July 17, 2008 at 2:03 pm
FINE I’ll call the evil little woman tonight…Yeah, this was a gut wrenching message.
July 17, 2008 at 4:48 pm
I can’t believe you let someone ELSE’S Mom guilt you into calling your own.
My mom is sitting on a beach in Hawaii right now. I ain’t calling her.
July 17, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Actually this made me sad because I don’t think my mom would wait in the dark for me.
Or maybe that should just make me happy.
July 17, 2008 at 7:03 pm
I was the one who said I would rather sit in the dar and wait for you….better known as jewish guilt..it was said in jest…my dd totally understood what I meant……jewish mother
July 17, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Thanks Jewish mother! You’re awesome spriitz! I hope everyone here called their mother when they read that! It’s a lovely reality check that some people need, to let them know that, yes, even though moms are superhuman, they have feelings too! (I’m not a mom, I’m just guessing!) Also a side note, unguiltable, atleast they called her :)
July 17, 2008 at 9:24 pm
my mommy would totally wait in the dark for me. thanks mom!
July 18, 2008 at 1:38 am
Mom’s get sad and need attention too.
July 22, 2008 at 12:46 am
My mom would sit in the dark and wait for me also, but only because she has a phobia about light bulbs and cannot touch them, therefore when one burns out someone has to change it for her!
August 14, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Oh man. This one made me cry.
