This Twitter Story Is Reminding Everyone How Much They Love Their Mom

She immediately flew to NY to take care of her daughter because, of course she did

There are many famous moms throughout history who’ve inspired us all — Maria von Trapp, Marie Curie, Maya Angelou, my mom (in case she reads this). But this past weekend, Shixia Huang looked at these women, cocked her head to the side and said, “Hold my beer.”

Huang, a cancer researcher, was speaking with her 22-year-old daughter, Grace Li, on the phone Friday when her daughter said she may be getting sick and also complained of a headache. Huang, who lives in Texas, was concerned about her little girl and decided to take matters into her own hands by showing up on her daughter’s doorstep that night to take care of her. Now’s probably a good time to mention that her daughter lives in New York.

Li posted about the hilarious situation on Twitter where the internet simply fell in love with it.

In her tweet, which includes a photo of Li and her mom together, she explains that she told her mom she felt sick and that turned into an immediate offer to come visit. “Is that a joke?” she asked.

No. No it wasn’t.

You know that saying, “A mother’s job is never done?” Huang took that as more of an edict than a suggestion. Li, a high school biology teacher, told BuzzFeed that apparently plane tickets from Texas to New York were “shockingly cheap,” and so her mom “left work, went home and packed, and arrived in New York that night.”

Huang’s peak mom moment has captured hearts everywhere because if you’re a mom or have a mom, you know this is absolutely not out of the realm of possibility when it comes to having kids.

Li made sure to keep everyone updated on her mom’s visit and inability to let anything go, because you never know when a small headache could turn into something more sinister and that shit’s not going down on Huang’s watch:

Being a mom is all-consuming. We work tirelessly to make sure our kids are clothed, fed, clean, and especially to know they’re loved. It also means putting them before yourself a lot of the time, even when they’re grown and out of the house because no matter how old they get, they’ll always be your little baby.

It seems like Huang’s extra TLC paid off for her daughter, as she tells BuzzFeed she’s feeling much better. “I spent the weekend seeing doctors and taking extra-strength Tylenol and watching TV with my mom,” she said.

Moms — you can’t beat em.
