"I'm urgin all daughters to kiss their mothers...you're never too old to kiss and hug her" -Drake
Another similarity between myself and the rapper Drake is our intense love for our mothers. Everyone loves their mom but for some reason I feel like our love for her is a bit stronger. Both of us never had a strong fatherly presence growing up so maybe this explains why our mothers are so important to us. Drake's mom and dad split when he was just five so the only time he saw his father was over the summer when he would visit him at his home in Memphis, TN. My father was in the military so he was gone for long stretches at a time and then when he finally retired he began to work for the government in Kuwait. Other than Christmas and summer break I never saw him. My mom and dad eventually divorced 2 years ago and because my dad still works overseas I still never see him.
"and to my dad even though we were apart I couldn't leave you out, you're forever in my heart " -Drake
Like Drake I love my dad but because of his absence throughout my life, I was never able to develop the type of connection with him that I have with my mom.
"She has been the most supportive person I have ever had in my life—the only person that loves me unconditionally, really. I know a lot of people love me and I love a lot of people. But to love somebody unconditionally is different." -Drake
"Thanks to my mother for never giving up, you deserve the world now go on and live it up" -Drake
FYI Drake just recently canceled the rest of his sold out European tour to be at home with his ill mother.He probably would have been able to further advance his career had he continued touring but Drake's mother is infinitely more important to him than his career.
