After You Read This, Give Your Parents a Hug

By The High Road



Now, a lot of the time I am a pretty insensitive person, an abrasive combination of being stupid and a big mouth. I also like to think I'm a pretty tough guy, who doesn't cry..... at all.

I was surfing through, one of my favorite websites, for a good stress relieving laugh, when I happened upon a site that read "Animal Crossing is Tragic", it had a lot of views so I decided to take a look. Expecting some vulgar or crass joke accompanied by some rock theme, my speakers started to play a soft, quiet piano piece from Final Fantasy X, called "To Zanarkand". Immediately, the mood changed from a juvenile humor to serious.

The website tells the story of a boy, who bought the game Animal Crossing. For those of you who don't know, it's a life simulator along the same vein of the popular "The Sims".

After watching the entire thing, it brought me to the verge of tears. I never thought that something like that could affect me so, probably because I wasn't expecting to be emotionally tugged. Watching this makes me appreciate my parents and all that they do for me.

So after you read, this click on this link, and then go give your parents a hug and tell them how much you appreciate them.

    I love this comic, although I haven't seen it with FFX music before. No matter how many times I read it, it always gets to me =(

Something to say?
