Yes.<BR/><BR/>Mom's gone, and sometimes just a Hallmark card commercial will catch me just right.<BR/><BR/>Surprisingly (at least to me), the Declaration of Independence at the beginning of the Super Bowl did the same thing.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273212686600552771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749898309498139507.post-85799770567883733212008-02-02T15:48:00.000-09:002008-02-02T15:48:00.000-09:00That is a very cool article.

The kids don't consider him their 'real dad', even though he's the one who helps with homework, stays up when they're sick, goes their school conferences and special events, provides financially for them, has taught them to ride a bike and drive...

As a child, I cried with joy every time Mighty Mouse came to save the day.<BR/><BR/>Have I mentioned that I'm pathetic?Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.com
