Robin Roberts Honors Mom With Siblings In Heartfelt Mother’s Day Tribute

In the most heartfelt act she could think of, Robin Roberts said she was getting into the Mother’s Day mood. Sitting down with her brother Butch and sister Sally Ann, the trio honored their late mother by announcing the book of child stories based on their mother’s childhood. An emotional family moment will soon be unfolding on GMA, and from the few glimpses that have surfaced, the internet is bubbling!

In another warm tweet, Roberts posted a picture with the siblings with whom she normally collaborates and spoke of it proudly. This book, as a tribute to their mother by telling the tale of her childhood, must surely be one of the best ways to keep the memory alive. From the HELL YEAHs this announcement has garnered, the answer is indeed a big yes.

Liz Hyde, aka HoopCarolina, nailed it with “What a lovely family, Robin!” That’s probably one thing no one could ever argue with. The Roberts family has always been tight, and there is yet another tribute that is proof that their relationship goes way beyond just siblings. Then Cynthia L dropped an emotional bomb: “You have such a wonderful family! Your momma is proud!!!” Handkerchiefs, please.

Snowflake with their display name went cray caps lock saying, “Oh that’s REALLY WONDERFUL!!!” along with enough heart emojis to fill up a small greeting card company. Reflected by the announcement, Rhonda Lynn Rice thanked Robin for inspiring others to record their own mothers’ stories. What an impact!

Maybe the most poetic one came from Iute with, “Seeing this photo of your dear Mamma’s children, she’s smiling from above with happy tears.” Okay, somebody go chop some onions now. Even Dr. C. Michele Scott added, “Love it ‘Little Sister’, Robin,” which goes to show that the warmth with which Roberts is known is not limited to her own biological family.

Crazy as it is, such a simple tweet about family and legacy brought out so much raw emotion: “BEAUTIFUL,” from Be Kind, and “You all are the best,” from Ashley Riegle with the best emoji combo, reads almost like a love letter to motherhood itself. Chef Bill Ostrowski did not want to be left out, following with a cheery “Good morning” because this feels like all positivity on the Robin Roberts timeline.

The GMA segment promises to be an adrenaline rush of tears, memories, and more viral reactions. When Robin Roberts speaks family, people listen. And when that family is channeling an extraordinary mom via storytelling? That sort of content lingers far beyond Mother’s Day.

I feel like I am really set to be one of those major TV moments backing the importance of the storybook announcement and the love all over the Roberts siblings. Now, excuse me while I dial my mom to say I love her for no reason.
