She was sweet and friendly and gave me her autograph..That night at the concert, she recognised me in the crowd and smiled and waved..A true Canadian,she's lovely, funny and extremely talented...

This song is truly gut-wrenchingly real and hits home for me like no other. My mom is gone now, in 2013, but whenever I hear this I break down no matter where I am. And recently, I was picking up my 18 year old daughter from work, and this song came on. I had to pull over, and I wept telling my girl that my mother (her baba), displayed all the lyrics in this powerful, beautiful tribute to good moms everywhere. Thank you, Jann, for penning such an iconic tune. Thank you. xo

Every night I lay on my bed as i'm getting ready to sleep and I realize how blessed I am to have a mother who will support me through anything. I work with at-risk youth and most of the time these kids come from broken homes or parents who have abandoned them because they'd rather satisfy their addiction. Every-time I see these kids I feel for them because I want them to experience the love and support I get from my mother.

Heard this song when I first moved away from home. Talked to my mom daily, her voice 'Kept me here' and my dad's silence and strength has made me cry many times as I respect the hell out of him. I hear this song now, remembering the cardboards masks and so-called miseries and realize how important life is. My mom has passed now (cancer took her too early) and this song has even more meaning than before. It's incredibly hard to sing without welling up, but I love this song, it sums it all up!

I hate how ads play after the video is over or it starts playing the next song. Each song deserves, like in the old days with CDs and cassette tapes, some black space of silence after each song, to let it digest and let the emotions settle and to really feel it. I absolutely hate how on KZbin it rushes into ads at the end and it ruins the feeling of the song coming to a close as the art should.

To me, this song is timeless. When I was vulnerable and on my own, it reminded me of how much my mom believed in me... how much her love was always sustaining me behind the scenes even though I didn't realize it. She basically always told me, "You rock, kiddo," although not in so many words. Then I had my own child... I wanted to be that same good mother to him, and although I thought I was... he still needed more than I could give. He still lay in that carboard box in the rain...
