Former First Lady Melania Trump sent a beautiful and heartwarming message to moms across America on Mother’s Day, 2024, which took place on May 12. In the message, which both went out through her website and was posted to X (formerly Twitter), Melania spoke about the immense importance of mothers to a functioning society, explaining how mothers help build up the world around them.
Beginning, she spoke about the responsibility that comes with being an often unnoticed cornerstone of society, saying, “May 12th marks Mother’s Day in America this year. Mothers are the cornerstone of a flourishing society. I take great pride in embracing this responsibility. And, although nothing makes me prouder than the relationship I have built with my son, only a mother knows that some of our efforts remain unnoticed.”
Continuing, she wrote about the varied jobs moms have and how they help build their children into functional adults, saying, “Motherhood exists as the bedrock of the American family, and mothers tend to wear several hats: emotional support, inspirational growth, health, love, humor, education, and more. We strive to provide our children with the building blocks to create meaningful relationships, plus the tools to eventually grow into mindful adults who thrive. When moms are healthy, our communities are too.”
Concluding the message, she called on all the moms reading the message to think about how they can build even greater stability for their families, saying, “As mothers, we are inclined to honor our mothers and mother figures on Mothers’ Day, but we must also be mindful of ourselves. It may be difficult to imagine, but when moms prioritize self- care, our families and children enjoy greater stability. Together, as mothers, we can institute a sense of unity, respect, and calm across the next generation.”
Responding to her message on X, people left heartfelt “Happy Mother’s Day” posts, often including sweet, heartwarming pictures of her and her son, Barron. Similarly, one commenter said, “HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MELANIA! God Bless you always ♥️ You’ve been a great Mom and it shows! AND Thank you for being the Best FLOTUS Ever 🌸”
Similarly, another wished her a happy Mothers’ Day and noted the sad absence of her relatively recently deceased mother, writing, “Happy Mother’s Day Melania. I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. It’s a tough day for all of us with mothers in heaven. 💗” As a reminder, Melania’s mother, Amilija Knavs, died on January 18, 2024.
Melania, eulogizing her mother in January, said, “In her presence, the world seemed to shimmer with radiant joy. She was not just a friend, but a confidant. A ray of light in the darkest of days. In her company, I found peace knowing that she would always be there to listen. She celebrated our successes and provided unwavering support during chaotic times.”
She also said, “Our bond was unbreakable. A testament to the power of a true love for one another. She was my dear friend. An irreplaceable treasure. A gift bestowed upon me by the universe. And for that, I am entirely grateful. Rest in peace, my beloved mommy.”
