It’s hard to believe that over two decades have passed since the 9/11 attacks. Reflecting on those events brings back the profound emotions we experienced during that difficult time.
In the aftermath of 9/11, many continued to honor the victims. Among those paying tribute was Budweiser, who created a commercial that became widely recognized.
The ad begins with the iconic Clydesdales running through a field, preparing to pull a wagon. They set off on a journey to an unknown destination.
As they travel through rural landscapes, they eventually reach a bustling city, crossing into New York City via the Brooklyn Bridge. From a distance, the majestic New York City skyline comes into view. The Clydesdales then bow in a solemn tribute to those who lost their lives.
This ad was shown just one time during the Super Bowl, but the complete version is available to watch here:
Mom Leaves Note On “Disrespectful” Son’s Door, And Now It’s Going Viral
Heidi Johnson’s approach to parenting her teenager, Aaron, certainly stands out. By framing her concerns through a tangible lens—an itemized bill—she turned a typical parenting challenge into a teachable moment about responsibility and appreciation. Her intention was to highlight the realities of running a household, rather than actually expecting him to foot the bill.
The letter not only communicated her feelings but also encouraged open dialogue between them, which seems to have strengthened their relationship rather than damaged it. It’s interesting how a simple act of honesty and creativity can resonate with others, prompting them to reach out for support. Johnson’s willingness to share her experience publicly shows how parenting struggles can connect people and foster community.
This kind of approach could inspire other parents facing similar issues. It emphasizes that teaching respect and responsibility doesn’t have to be punitive; it can also be an opportunity for growth and understanding. How do you feel about her method? Would you consider trying something similar in your own parenting?
