And these priceless moments captured and shared on the internet are the eternal proof of that. Some may bring out chuckles, while others could be the heartwarming tear-jerker you didn’t know you needed today.

My Mother Found My Cat Online After A Whole Year Of Being Lost
His name is Basil. He is around 10 years old now, we don't know for sure because we found him outside and "adopted" him. He had been gone recently for a whole year, and my mother had found him online, as someone was offering to pass him to a new family. They drove all the way to my workplace when I was working and surprised me.
We lived together for 8 years and he had finally come back after a year of absence. This photo captures my first reaction when I was allowed to see him and pet him again. I missed him a lot, and he was like a brother to me.

I Won A Rubber Ducky For My Mom While Visiting Home. After Returning She's Been Sending Me Updates On Their Adventures Together. My Mom Is The Cutest Human Ever
She’s my best friend and I live across the world from my family. So when she missed me at dinner the first night after I left, Duckally (pronounced like “luckily”) was created. Most recently my mom got a small doll house and some miniature props that she plans to slowly reveal to me, one room at a time, through future updates of Duckally’s adventures. I’m so glad Duckally can hang out with my mom in my place.

Vacationing With My Boyfriend's Family Tomorrow, His Mom Fills A Hole In My Heart (Mine Passed When I Was 18, So Blessed With A Mother-In-Law Like Her)
My boyfriend's parents, especially his mom, treat me like I'm their own. This will be my third vacation with them, as we always meet at their house and drive south together. I adore his whole family, I love that they love me too, and his mom is my best friend. Whenever we go to their house for dinner, I can hardly get in the door before she squeals, "My wine-drinking buddy is here!" & pours me a glass. I lost my mom to cancer when I was 18, and I was very close with her. Nobody will ever replace her, but having such a loving mother-in-law who makes sure to always include me and tell me she loves me, certainly does some healing things for the soul.

My dad was always creative in his punishments like this. I forgot to call when out on a bike ride. When I got home, he took off my front tire and used the chain bike lock to hang it from the ceiling fan. I couldn't use the fan, had to stare at my bike wheel just hanging from the ceiling for a week, and had to duck under it to get back and forth from by bed to anywhere else in the room including the door. I made fun of a neighbor with a broken leg. He taped my thighs together and made me walk around the block once with him. Caught me every time I started to fall but I got the idea.

Patchwork Blanket Hand Sewn By Mum Makes Me Smile Everyday
So, it's been a really bad couple of months for my mum. She hurt her knees and can't walk or stand for too long, and for a really active person, it's just depressing. So she sits in her craft room all day sewing stuff to keep herself busy (and sane). Meanwhile, I have had a stressful couple of weeks work and financial-wise.
Yesterday she passed me this blanket she had been secretly working on, meticulously and neatly sewn. I recognized some of the patches as things from my childhood. My favorite pants, pajamas, fabric from the old couch, and the pillowcase my grandma made.
We’ve always butted heads and fought because of our stubborn personalities but this… This made me feel so much love. When I used it that night I had tears in my eyes. But yeah, now it makes me smile, and it's so comfy too! Thanks, mum, I love you.

I understand you! Sad that I can’t relate to any of this but the joy and love these people feel makes me unquestionably happy. I love these posts as they give me a chance to imagine what it would be like to have a mom that loves and appreciates me. I also like to take notes of what a good mom should be like for if there ever comes a day that I become a mom.
