History Heartwarming / Blink182

* Tom's first show back was at Coachella 2023. When his verse during "I Miss You" came up, Travis dropped the beat and the audience ''overwhelmingly'' sang along with Tom, to the point that ManlyTears were present.

* The Rock Show is a lovely way to express the feelings of one's FirstLove, and to make it better, the song was written by Mark, in the space of about ten minutes, and is basically a love song for his wife. ''And they're still together, almost twenty years later.''

* Tom's first show back was at Coachella 2023. When his verse in "I Miss You" came up, Travis dropped the beat and the audience ''overwhelmingly'' sang along with Tom, to the point that ManlyTears were present on his face.

** His [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqZP_EpQ8D/?hl=en open letter]] to Matt Skiba counts too, thanking him for "keep(ing) the band alive and thriving in [his] absence."

* Tom rejoining the band on 11 October 2022 certainly counts as this.

* Despite his departure, Tom pretty much stated on Twitter that he [[TrueCompanions still considers Mark his best friend, saying he loves him so much, insisting he wants his friend to be happy]]. Hits TearJerker territory when [[JerkAss Mark hasn't returned these feelings back]].

** During this time, fans wondered if Mark and Tom had made peace....which was proven to be the case. And while the two aren't in the same band anymore, the two do talk frequently in each other's social medias, proven the two buried the hatchet, being happier with their own endeavors than being stuck in decisions they weren't happy with.

* Mark beating Stage 4 cancer in 2021 doubles as this and Awesome.

* While it's obviously a pragmatic decision on some level (because then concerts would be much shorter and less varied), Mark and Travis continuing to play the material that they made together with Tom, which basically encompasses everything between 1992 - 2013. They could choose to discard the material and forge ahead into their new, post-Tom lineup, and yet they continue to play the songs they made together, because it's a significant part of their lives and it shouldn't be forgotten, even if the happy memories of those times are no doubt soured due to the drama that occurred between them.

* While he's really, really, ''really'' reluctant to come up with a date (barring the ongoing Coronavirus Crisis anyways), the fact that Tom has openly stated he intends to play with Blink again "when the time is right" and that none of the other band members have come out to challenge this means that on some level, they would like (or at the very least don't mind) the concept of being a band again. It's a ''big'' step up from the usual indifference, deflection or outright vitriol they've thrown at each other in the past.

* "First Date" is {{Adorkable}} incarnate. Who hasn't gone on a date like this?

** Makes it more heartwarming when Travis did indeed confirm this in the interview, solidifying Mark, Travis, and Tom at least are on better speaking terms than last time.

* Mark and Travis's love for Matt Skiba is really something to marvel at, especially when introducing him at a show.

* Despite his departure, Tom pretty much stated on Twitter that he [[TrueCompanions still continues Mark his best friend, saying he loves him so much, insisting he wants his friend to be happy]]. Hits TearJerker territory when [[JerkAss Mark hasn't returned these feelings back]].

** Despite how much of a jerk he's appeared as, Mark telling in interviews that he hopes Tom's new choices will make him happy really tugs the heartstrings.

* When Travis was in the hospital, Tom went to go see how he was, which resulted with the three making up.

* Also serving as a TearJerker, Mark asking for a moment of silence during a Connecticut show after the band learned of Adam Goldstein (DJ AM)'s passing.

* A fan wrote to them shortly before committing suicide. Touched by the fan, they wrote 'Adam's Song' in memory of him.
