LISTENERS SPEAK: Audience reactions

"After the show, I went home and wrote down my own story."

​

"That was such a genuine way to celebrate and honor

motherhood and Mother's Day."

​

"We (my daughter, mother, and I) go each year.

It's our Mother's Day tradition now!"

​

"I cannot get over how brave these people are, reading their stories, in front of so many people. It makes me think about

what I would say about my own mom!"

​

"I saw the show its first year, and thought about a story... and then saw the call for auditions the following winter.

What I wrote down seemed to want to come out for years."

​

"I wanted to write a story to honor my wife. She's been gone for a while, now, but my kids appreciated having this story written down."
