    Didn't want to watch the show because my mom just passed away. Decided to watch this little video clip and H.E.R's performance had me balling my eyes out. Miss my mommy so much!! To all who still have your mom, treat her like gold, spoil her, and enjoy every moment you have letting her know daily how special she is to you. Don't allow anything or anyone to hinder or affect your relationship in any way. Thank God I always let my mom know she was the best mom anyone could have and told her not having a dad in my life had zero affect on me because she made up for that missing part where I was 100% content. Happy up coming mother's day to all !!!
