The Story:
My mom calls me every day at 7 AM to make sure I’m awake. One morning, she called but didn’t say anything, just heavy breathing. Worried, I quickly went to her house, thinking something was wrong.

When I arrived, I found her sitting on the couch looking defeated, surrounded by empty coffee cups and a mess of craft supplies. I asked what was wrong, and she sighed, “I just needed to get your attention.”
