Wrestler turned actor, The Rock, in celebration of Mother's Day shared a personal story about the rough beginnings he had while growing up with his mother.
In commemoration of Mother's Day, which was on Sunday, May 10, former WWE wrestler turned actor, Dwayne Johnson popularly known as 'The Rock' shared a touching story of how they were evicted from their home because his mom couldn't afford the $180 per week rent.
He wrote:
"Cool Mother's Day story.. early am flight and I'm sittin' across from my mom when out of the blue she looks around the plane, then looks at me and says 'Son, I can't believe the life I have.. grandma and grandpa would be so proud'.
"I asked her, 'Are you happy ma?'. Just then the flight attendant placed my moms breakfast down on the table and my mom said to me, 'Am I happy?.. I used to worry about how I was going to buy groceries for us and now I just had my breakfast placed down in front of me'."
He said she immediately burst into tears and said "Yes, son I couldn't be happier".
He continued: "This is the woman, who when I was 14yrs old, we were evicted out of our apartment in Hawaii 'cause we couldn't afford the $180 per week rent.
"At this moment, Im shaking my head and smiling quietly (as my mom blows her nose;) 'cause she just told me she's happy. And y'all know when our parents tell us they're happy, its so satisfying for us, 'cause it means we've done a good job for them as their kids.
"Happy Mother's Day to all the deserving amazing mamas out there. And Happy Mother's Day to my amazing mom who will no doubt kill me for posting this crying pic. #EnjoyBreakfastMom #GratefulTears #TryNotCryInTheEggs"
