Many of us speak to our mothers on a regular basis, but how often are we speaking words of kindness into their hearts?

Unfortunately, we often find ourselves lacking adequate words when it comes to expressing how much we appreciate our moms. In this candid video, however, several sons open up about what it is about their mothers that makes them shine.

Much to their surprise, their moms are silently sitting in the room with them, listening to every word. The result? Well, let’s just say you might want to grab a box of tissues…

Even though we don’t always have the right words when it comes to expressing our admiration for our mothers, this touching video makes it apparent that the message is always loud and clear within our hearts. And thanks to a little clever coaxing, these moms were given the ultimate Mother’s Day gift: love, gratitude, and appreciation.
