Father John Misty takes a moment to reflect on the blessings he has received from his mother, and offers a prayer for mothers everywhere on Mother’s Day. “I don’t think I could be more grateful for my mother,” Father John Misty says. “She was always there for me, no matter what. She would cook me dinner when I didn’t want to go to school, she would pick me up from the detention hall, she would listen to me whine about my math homework. And then later she would come into my room at 2 in the morning and tell me that sacrificing everything for her children was worth it because it made them who they are today.”
