Bears receiver Kevin White had a special message for his mother on Twitter for Mother’s Day.

White was the seventh overall pick by the Bears in the 2015 NFL Draft. And before draft day, his mother Tammy had a special message for her son.

In the NFL series, “Pep talk of love,” which was released on Sunday, Mrs. White had some special words for Kevin.

When they call Kevin White across that stage, remember your mom, your dad and your entire family is sitting there supporting you. We are very proud of you, you did an awesome job. I just want you to know we are there for you every step of the way. Just stay focused, keep God first, stay humbled, and we love you.

A parade shouldn't be a place where people are glad to make it out alive
Police shut down the Little Village Cinco de Mayo parade Sunday after shots rang out along the route. No one was killed or injured, but people who came out to enjoy the event shouldn’t have to rejoice that their celebration didn’t turn tragic.
