There’s something so special about Mother’s Day, isn’t there? It’s the one day of the year where we take a moment to celebrate the woman who shaped us into who we are today. Donny Osmond, the beloved singer and TV personality, did just that when he paid tribute to his late mom, Olive Osmond. Let me tell you, his words will tug at your heartstrings.
In a heartfelt post, the 61-year-old shared a cherished photo of himself with his mom and wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day to my angel mother. Her constant encouragement and loving kindness have always been—and always will be—my guiding star.” Donny went on to express how much his mom meant to him: “She was my safe place to land and my greatest cheerleader. Oh, how I love and miss you, Mother. You’ve truly made all the difference.”
And if that wasn’t enough to make you reach for the tissues, Donny added a powerful reminder for those fortunate enough to still have their moms in their lives: “If you’re lucky enough to still have your mother with you, be sure to hug her extra tight and remind her how much you love her today.” Words like these are a beautiful call to action, encouraging us all to express our gratitude while we can.

Heartfelt Reactions from Fans
Donny’s post didn’t go unnoticed. Fans flooded the comments section with heartfelt messages of their own. “Your parents, I think, were amazing people, to bring up such a wonderful and talented family,” one person wrote. Another added, “Your mother was such a beautiful and inspiring woman. I’m sure she is missed daily by all of you, but especially today. I know I miss mine so much today.” These reactions highlight just how universal the bond between a mother and her child truly is.
Olive Osmond: A Legacy of Love
Olive Osmond, alongside her husband George Osmond, raised a family of nine children, including their only daughter, Marie Osmond. Marie has spoken openly about how her mom not only shaped her life but also saved it. In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, the 57-year-old revealed a poignant moment with her mom that changed her life forever.
“She was overweight, and right before she died, she said to me, ‘Marie, don’t do to your body what I did to mine,’” Marie recalled. “Those are powerful words right before you leave this life, and my mom saved me.” Olive’s wisdom didn’t stop there. She urged her daughter to live a healthy life, warning her that if she didn’t take care of herself, she wouldn’t have the energy to serve her family. “At one point, I was taking care of her. She had heart disease, and it took her life, and my grandmother’s — I was a ticking time bomb. I knew I had to do something,” Marie added.
