"I Was An Emotional Wreck For Days" – People Are Sharing The Saddest Sitcom Moments Of All Time, And I Need A Tissue ASAP

"Mona, Homer’s long-lost mother returns to him, but realises she must go back into hiding (she’s an activist, wanted by the government). The final scene of this episode is heartbreaking. Under the darkness of night, Homer watches his mother leave. He has no idea when, or if, he’ll ever see her again.

There’s a long, still shot of Homer sitting on the hood of his car, clearly devastated. At the very end, he sees a shooting star. There’s no music, just silence. I cry every damn time. It’s a genius work of art."
