Wishing a happy Mother’s Day to the moms out there. ❤️ Because of her, there is comfort, strength and so much love in this world. We see you, moms. We appreciate you. We love you. We’re also thinking of those who are having a difficult time today. Sending you love and peace.

God bless her for all she gives to our stroke community." -- Kenya Robinson, stroke survivor, on her friend Betty
