    This is the most special thing I have ever seen someone do for their mom! You can fill the respect and love and adoration oozing from him! You can tell she was a mom to make sacrifices and poured into her children and her family! And I love how she was trying to maintain a certain level of etiquette, and humbleness when Patty walked out during the whole ordeal actually! She is so regal I love it 🥰

      @ArtComMusic 5 років тому +7

      We should all follow Patti's example and say that we're whatever years YOUNG (not old). After losing her parents and all her sisters early, she knows firsthand that nobody is "old"...that life is not just short but much shorter for countless others. So out of respect for those lost and ourselves, Patti preaches that we call ourselves young in order to cherish and celebrate life.

    Awwwww I miss my mother telling me the same things. My siblings and I had one beautiful moma we miss her dearly she would always stay up until I got of work she always cooked my favorite foods but our mother was a mother a father a confidant a nurse a woman of God. Moma never had a favorite child she loved each and everyone of us in our own special way. We have had heavy hearts. Right after her my big sister passed away with metastatic breast cancer. She fought a hard fight for two years never in remission. When my eldest sister which was my mom very first child and her son my brother passed away. She had took all she could. When God steps in he definitely shows out. When God picked our mother for his heavenly garden, oh what a beautiful flower a singing and just lovely mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Missing her always we love you moma.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

    That was so cool. I cried inside because I may never ever get to feel that special. I've given birth to 5 children, have 3 grand children and have taught probably hundreds more children over my 29 years of teaching and never have I ever been celebrated like that. I am thankful however that every child that I've taught remembers me as their favourite teacher. So I guess that's good enough. Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers and all the ladies who love like mothers out there. 🎉❤

    OK!!!! Watching This Made Me Both Happy And Sad At The Same Time. Happy, Cuz This Brother Was Able To Bring Joy To His Mother On Her Special Day,,,, And Sad, Cuz I Would Have Loved To Have Done This For My Mom Who Died From Cancer 7 Years Ago. Real Talk, We Have To Express Our Love, Gratitude, And Appreciation To Our Parents While They Are Still Here.
