The second Sunday in May is dedicated to pampering and honoring the special women in our lives who birthed us, raised us, nurtured us, and guided us. And the stars of GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, and DAYS OF OUR LIVES did exactly that, whether they were praising their own moms or enjoying some pampering at the hands of their kids.
For example, GH’s Tabyana Ali (Trina) treated her mom, Jacqueline Ford, to a mother/daughter weekend in Santa Barbara with some of her friends and their moms. “Happiest of Mother’s Day from me and mine!” the young actress wrote, sharing a video of their adventures.

Thank you for reminding me who I am and who God created me to be. You taught me to honor my truest self, what loyalty and respect looks like, and that standing up for myself is one of the greatest gifts I can give myself. And thank you for taking all you’ve learned and passing it on. Thanks for living by example. This life has been a wild ride so far, but I’m so thankful to have persevered through it with you. Thank you for all you do, and all that you are. You inspire me. I hope I’m half the mom you are, someday. I love you, Mom. 🥰”
