Motherhood. It may sometimes feel like a thankless job that often leaves you sleep-deprived, with a few extra gray hairs. You may even find yourself wondering if you’re doing a good job. Doubt fills the hours instead of sleep as what you said or did plays on repeat in your mind.
If that is you, let this amazing video show you that every moment of motherhood is worth it. A talented twenty-one-year-old, Less Collinson, dedicates ‘Flowers’ to his mother during America’s Got Talent semi-finals.
This is the moment moms wait for. Validation that you did something right and your child sees you as a human being with a heart so big, that every mistake or flaw is drowned in the depth of your love. They finally see you as a person who sacrificed so much to help them become confident, successful adults that are launched into the world to make it a better place.
In this touching video, the British singer Less Collinson dedicates the song to his mom because she was there for him in the hard moments in his life. She gave him everything he needed to pursue his dreams and kept him grounded to become a good human being.
Every note he sang was heartfelt, and it was absolutely incredible. His performance was outstanding, and it has been viewed more than 151,000 times since it was released on YouTube.
One viewer commented on the difference between being an artist and having a passion. He wrote, “The difference between an artist and a singer. A singer sings with his voice, but an artist sings with his heart! Felt that.” We couldn’t agree more. Lee poured his heart and soul into his performance.
Another viewer adored how vulnerable Lee was. “I loved it. I loved his emotions and vulnerability. This was perfect.”
We get eighteen summers with our kids and the years seem to fly by fast, but the hard moments stand out in our hearts.
Lee’s performance is a reminder all mothers need. Our kids will grow up and realize we were right about a few things. Instead of being annoyed when we want to talk, they will call you to tell you how their day is going. They will eventually see us for who we are and just how much we love them.
