I didn't grow up in a life of privilege. I grew up in a very rough neighborhood in East Los Angeles. This woman drove me three hours a day to a different school to show me a different opportunity. It's her birthday today. Mom, happy birthday. I love you very much.
我成長的環境並不優渥。我在洛杉磯東部一個犯罪盛行的街區長大。面前這位女士每天開三小時車送我去不同的學校，讓我見識不同的機會。今天是她的生日。媽媽，生日快樂。我愛你。

[My mom] was really strong around me. Having me at 16 had to have been a big responsibility. My mom gave up everything for me, had three jobs, supported me, sacrificed her life for me.
（媽媽）特別堅強地陪在我身邊。16歲就生了我，壓力和責任都很大。我媽為了我放棄了一切，打過三份工，一直支持我，為我犧牲了她的生活。

Dear Mama, Everything I am is because of you! You are the first voice that ever sang to me. At every turn you push me to be better. You teach me to be true to myself and the ones I love. When I look into your eyes, I am sooo proud. Now that I'm a mother, I truly realize all the sacrifices you made for us. My love for you goes beyond what I can say. Happy Happy Mama's Day.
親愛的媽媽，我現在的一切都歸功於你！我第一次聽到人唱歌是你。每次都是你逼著我做到更好。你教我要對自己誠實，對我愛的人誠實。我看著你的眼睛，我真的好自豪。我現在也當媽媽了，我真的明白了你為我們所做的所有犧牲。我的言語無法表達我對你的愛。母親節快樂！

10958天之前，莫妮卡·芬迪第一次成為了母親，有了獨生女！今天既是您的生日，也是我的生日！我愛你媽媽！謝謝你懷我、生我、養我、支持我、教育我、無條件地愛我！今天能有我這樣的女性，全都是因為你呀！我感謝上帝，在把我的靈魂放到你那裡時，他選了你做我的媽媽！你是最偉大的母親！謝謝你！
米歇爾·奧巴馬
I couldn't have done this without you, mom. You are my role model. You are an amazing woman even though you don't think you had anything to do with me. She always says that, it's like, "You raise yourself" and I did not, it was you.
媽媽，沒有你就沒有我的今天。你是我的榜樣。即便你覺得你跟我的成長關係不大，但你仍然是一個超棒的女人！你老是說“你把自己培養成人啦”，但不是啊，是你撫養了我啊媽媽。
母親節快樂
