Kate, who shares her kids with husband actor Andie Chen, also expressed how she’s willing to give up her life in exchange for her children’s happiness, because they’re a blessing to her and the world. We’re not tearing, you are.

Zoe Tay might have been working on Mother’s Day but she didn’t forget to post a lovely tribute to her mother on Instagram, with Zoe herself carrying her son in the background of the photo. She thanked her mother for her selfless act of love raising Zoe and her five siblings, which included getting up early to ensure that breakfast was on the table before they headed off to work and that every meal was delicious and filling, all without complaints.
Her immense love and sacrifice is their blessing, she said, adding that it pains her to see her mum with a head full of white hair. “You’re the best mum ever,” she added.
Couldn’t agree more.
