If this is your 62yo mom after a 12hr shift we need a shelfie or routine or something! I 100% believe she is a sweet angel.

I think your mom needs to spill the beans on what her skincare regime is (or is it some sort of sorcery?) . She does not look 62!

Best wishes to her and hope you all stay safe.

I strongly believe her good heart is the key to her youth. Serenity beaming from her smile can make anybody's day.

Just showed this to my night shift buddies and we all agree she is an inspiration. Tell her the UK nurses said hello! And that she is so beautiful x

She’s beautiful right? She will always look like a teenager to me, as she did during most of my childhood. She inspired me to become a nurse too and is still teaching me things even though we’re living and nursing in different states now. I shall grill her on the specifics of her skincare routine but I suspect a lot of it is genes. I know she always gets us to buy her boots number 7 if we’re going to be in the UK. Thanks for all your kind words, this thread is full of such beautiful people and positivity. Love you all

Beautiful momma inside and out.

You’re so fortunate to have her for your mom. Your community is so fortunate to have her strength and commitment to healthcare. Y’all please take care of each other, and stay safe.

Your mom is beautiful and she raised an equally beautiful and caring human being. I love how your every word just radiates the love you feel for her. Amazing ❤️

Thank you so much, she really has done everything for my brothers and me as well as all our cousins and basically just everybody. If I had to share all the selfless things she does for others on a weekly basis I’d be here all day!

Omg I think that’s me !! I can tell because of the washi tape. I thought it would never arrive, but guess I was wrong. I wish I could’ve put more but shipping is just too darn expensive in Australia, so I hope you enjoy the products I put in! 💕💕Your mum is so beautiful!

Oh honey you made 2 little nurses days! And the post is sooooo slow at the moment but it actually turned out nicely because it’s like a little birthday surprise for her. I just realised she’s only turning 61 today, woops,I found an extra year somewhere. thank you thank you thank you, it doesn’t take much to make my mum happy cry but by all accounts she was really blubbering when she read your note. You are amazing

motsuie•

Aww I’m so happy. I can’t do much at this trying time so really it should be me thanking your mum. I hope she enjoys all the products!! And make sure to rest well!! 🥺🥺

Well done to your mother and all the other health care workers. At the very least, they deserve to be pampered. In addition to being a great person, your mom also looks fab!

Like many of the other commenters here I would love to know her skincare routine! I’m sure genes play some role but still worth knowing. Thank you for all she does.
