Mother's Day is a time to show love for mothers. From the little kid who lives next door to tech and business tycoons world over, this day means something special for everyone.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos made the most of this day by dropping a sweet Mother's Day note. He posted two photos on Twitter featuring his mother, Jackie Bezos.
Along with the photos, he wrote, “Mom, I have no idea how you did what you did. You kept us both safe inside your heart. Thank you for sharing your strength and for all the sacrifices you made. I love you.”

Some users shared their own stories about why their mothers are important to them.
A user wrote, “Mothers are the angel guards of their kids and for this reason, we must protect them at their old age when they become vulnerable via the decay of time.”
When i was a small kid, i lost my father due to his disease, & my mother becomes & a father, except only of a mother. Mothers are the angel guards of their kids & for this reason, we must protect them at their old age, when they become vulnerable via the decay of time.

Before this, in 2019, Mr Bezos had shared a video of his mother delivering a speech at the Cambridge College 47th Commencement. He had shot a video of her commencement speech, where, standing on the podium, she recounts her experiences. She says how she became pregnant at the age of 17 and the obstacles she faced in completing high school. Mr Bezos captioned the post, “My mom's incredible story. Wow. So grateful. So proud.”
