I cry any time I hear about someone losing their mom. I hope I don't feel this pain for a long time. We all know your mom is proud of you Jalen, carry on brother

It’s ok to cry brother. REAL men do cry for their loved ones….

I love when a woman stands by a man's side when he's in a UNDERSTANDABLY vulnerable moment...You're a queen for that.

Shout out to Maria Taylor! To see this sister come to this brother's side with no hesitation at such a public and vulnerable moment was nothing short of the epitome of a mother's love. Love and respect!!!

My mother just passed away yesterday, on Mother's day from COPD. It is the toughest thing I'm going through and watching these videos is helping me just cope right now.

That was a Queen’s move to honor him and uplift him the way she did.
So awesome to see.

My mom passed away a couple of years ago to COPD, and I totally feel him. It doesn't get easier. The way Maria consoled him without hesitation was beautiful. Those are real moments, real experiences and she reacted in a real way. Kudos.
