Jill Biden honors “resilient mothers”
First Lady Jill Biden recognized the role “strong and resilient” mothers have played in looking after their families after a “challenging” year Covid-19 pandemic.
“The pandemic has affected every part of our lives, challenged and changed us in ways we could never have imagined,” said 69-year-old Biden in one Video shared on social media on Mother’s Day.
“Whether your kids are 2 or 52 years old, this year has been a difficult year for mothers,” she said. “I know it feels like so much is up to you – it was a lot before the pandemic. And just when you thought you had little to give, you have more. Because you are a mother, and that’s exactly what mothers do. “”
Jill and Joe Biden share a daughter, Ashley, 39. After Joe Biden’s first wife, Neilia Biden, died in 1972, he married Jill in 1977 and made their stepmother to his two young boys: Hunter Biden, now 51, and the late Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46.
“Jill and I never talked about it alone or with the boys, but one day I noticed they stopped calling her Jill,” reflected Joe Biden in his 2007 memoir, “Keeping Promises: About Life and Politics.” “They called her mom. Neilia was always mom, but Jill was mom. I’m used to being in charge, but the truth is, it was Jill and the boys who shaped our newly made family.”
