17 Touching Stories That Prove Even Adults Need a Mom’s Love and Support

It’s hard to underestimate the role of a mother in a child’s life. Even if you’re an adult, you want to share your happy or difficult moments with your parents. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible, so Reddit users created a community called “Mom for a Minute” where every person can get support and a mother’s warmth.

At Bright Side, we read the touching stories from Internet users who turned to virtual mothers for support or wanted a hug from their parents.

“It’s been a hard 16 years without you, Mom, but dang, is this sweatshirt still cool? Jeans are a bit tight though.”

“Hi, Mom, I just got married. I saved you a seat. I sent my bouquet to be at your grave the next day, your favorite light pink roses.”
