feeling an eighth of an inch high

My mom couldn't hide the dissapointment in her voice when I called... It broke my heart as she almost whispered in moments and in others forced cheerfulness to the surface. I have managed to single handedly put a damper on her holiday. (I don't do Christian holidays if I can help it, though I humor my parents and my siblings by making them at least a way to get together) I did the only thing I could do when I got off the phone, I did another line...
