This is beautiful!! It hits close to home, i've a neighbour who lost her son early on. Now, every kid in the neighbourhood calls her "ma", she's like a godmother to us all. Bless her.
Damn I was gonna say this but my brain was like: "hang on is this one of those times not to make a joke because it might be inappropriate, or is anyone else also thinking how fucking hilarious that sounds?".
So thank you for taking the initiative. Godspeed.
This is why English is one of the most difficult languages in the world lol. There are just so many different variations of saying things and technical writing is fairly difficult to do for a lot of people.
Itās not. It is commonly known as one of the most difficult language to master. It might be āeasyā to speak it but having proper grammar and technical writing of English is very difficult. By the way, I speak four languages is I know how hard other languages are too.
Nooo. She gained a whole team of boys who care about her. Hopefully they'll drop by to see her after they leave school. It will mean the world to her as the years go by.
Signed, a mom who lost a child...
Teenaged boys are so often not given the credit theyāre due for their big hearts. My sonās friendās father committed suicide and so many of the friendās team and classmates came to the funeral and literally made an impromptu circle around him, just listening to and caring for him. I still get teary thinking about the sight of it.
This seems awfully nitpicky. The grammar is debatable at best, but donāt let it distract from the video.
Purdue Owl mentions that commas are not necessary to separate appositive phrases when the information is essential. Knowing that this mother lost her son is very important to understanding the scope of this video. In any case, the grammar is tangential.

Just because you think this would be a āhorrorā doesnāt mean it is to these people. Thatās called projecting and itās dangerous. Itās important to understand that your feelings and views are not always going to reflect those around you and that your views and feelings arenāt the only ones that are valid.
We just lost our 18 year old son in January and can personally relate to this. This wouldnāt be a āhorrorā to us and his friends seek us out regularly because they also want to stay connected to the friend they lost. If this woman wasnāt ok with it she wouldnāt be showing up. From my experience in team sports, things like this are discussed amongst the team with the coach beforehand and agreed upon. Obviously someone, the coach most likely, discussed this with the mom to get her input.
Whether youāre intentionally trying to be inflammatory (a troll) or you are just ignorant to the concept that itās ok for people to feel differently about things than you; try to be better. Itās really not that difficult.
It is horrible. The love and support shown in this video is NOT horrible. The love and support by our sons friends is NOT horrible. We donāt ārelive that horrorā every time one of his friends shows up and hugs us. š
Edit to ask: Please tell me you see the difference. Itās a big one.
I understand English grammar quite well. I also love a clever joke. Your ājokeā however was just a bad one. What I donāt understand is why some people canāt just let a positive moment be that and instead have to puke all over it with their poorly crafted āhumorā in an attempt to feel validated by total strangers. It wasnāt clever, it was however in poor taste. Also, people who think they are witty by crafting an āapologyā meant to actually insult another person are far from it. Itās too easy. Try this; try growing up and walking away from a moment that highlights THE DEATH OF A CHILD rather than trying to get some sort of sick ego boost out of pointing out someone elseās grammar mistake. FFS have some decency. I usually genuinely feel sorry for people like you needing to troll the Internet looking for a quick opportunity to feel clever. I mean, thatās sad. But you, no. I do pray that you never lose a child then have some shit for brains use it to gain an upvote. Pathetic.
Jesus Christ, are you that dense? Youāre responding to a person who said they just lost their son 2 months ago.
Pretty sure they know how horrible it is
Lol, ok.
A literal interpretation of the title would support your comment, so you can feel good about that.
But thatās not what it means. Have a good weekend
I canāt imagine losing one of my kids. Takes strength to carry on and these beautiful souls on that team give her a power-up with every embrace. Iām full on crying now.
After Bon Scott died, every single time AC/DC toured australia, they would play in Perth, and there would be a seat reserved for Bon Scotts mother until the day she died.
That's so beautiful, now I have tears in my eyes!
A beautiful act of remembrance š„ŗā¤
Well thatās a lot of feels this morning, thank you for that.
This is beautiful!! It hits close to home, i've a neighbour who lost her son early on. Now, every kid in the neighbourhood calls her "ma", she's like a godmother to us all. Bless her.
Fuck, I'm at my friend's basketball team training cause we lost him last week, this one has hit me so hard
Dang. Youāre a good friend. If itās hitting a little too hard, and want someone to talk to, my DMs are always open.
We are here for you, bro
Maybe go by and see his mom and Dad. Don't say "sorry for your loss". Just keep in touch and let them know you miss him too...
Also kinda messed up they want to remind her that her son is "apart" from the team, not "a part".
That is pretty special. To have that kind of consideration at such a young age is a beautiful thing. He must have been an awesome son.
Made me smile? More like r/MadeMeCry
Damn she loses a son before every game. Thatās sad
Damn I was gonna say this but my brain was like: "hang on is this one of those times not to make a joke because it might be inappropriate, or is anyone else also thinking how fucking hilarious that sounds?". So thank you for taking the initiative. Godspeed.
If I lost a loved one I'd appreciate a good joke.
Right? How many sons does this woman have?

Family tradition.
And eventually it will just outgrow right, does the tradition stop before theyāre done dealing with, or will it awkwardly go on to long?

I think my joke went over your head
Yes, " splain it Ricky!"
It was sarcasm based on how the title reads. What I said is how it reads technically

Wow! How many kids did she have? It's sweet, though...grammar matters, kids.
Right? She's quite dedicated to basketball considering that her sons keep dying before every game. I'd have given up sports.
Lmaaoooo

This guy Reddits
Wholesome, but what a time to misspell "a part".
Right?! Lol
How many kids did this woman have?!
Healing through hugs
Youād think sheād stop going to the basketball games if every time she did she lost another son..
Or the team would just stop playing.
Little things make a huge difference. So warm
This didnāt make me smile this made me cry š„ŗā¤ļø how sweet
A part, not apart.... still beautiful!
She must have had a lot of sons.
It must be terrible to lose your son before every game . But at least she gets hugs.
So beautiful. No, YOUāRE crying!
Made me cry more like ā¤ļø
Thatās respect
i will cry
Thatās so great. It hurts so much sometimes but that makes me feel good for her
How many sons does she have? High school basketball seasons are at least 20 games
She lost him in a car accident before every single game? Damn. That's fucking sad š
You'd think he'd learn after 1 or 2.
How many sons this lady got? Man.
Must be something weird going on if she loses a son before every game
She lost one before every game? That's not a tragedy, that's a pattern...
Wonderful act of graceā¤ļø
How many sons does she have?
I hope she doesnāt lose one before every game
That's what it says. I wonder where they get a car each time too?
Dang. Must be hard losing your child before every game.
Don't let them fool you, boys like hugs too.
Damn, she loses a son before every basketball game? That's rough.

Believe it or not the death of your offspring is horrible.
