Mom had the kind of love for her that you could feel, like it was part of the atmosphere

About This Quote

When a mother has the kind of love for her sons that you could feel, like it was part of the atmosphere, she’s really gone for them. She knows all their secrets and they know hers. You can imagine that kind of trust and love is one of the biggest gifts anyone could give to a son. It's not just about sex.

When you're a parent, you want to do your best by your kids and show them how much you care. That's what Mom had for all three of us – and I can still feel it today whenever I see my mom on TV or read her words in the news. She's so proud of each one of us and we're so proud of her too.
