"19 Kids and Counting" alum Jill Duggar-Dillard recently paid a touching tribute to her mom Michelle amid rumors that the latter gave birth to so many children but couldn't focus on each one of them.
The letter, which the "Jill & Jessa: Counting On" star posted on their family's website, spoke of how much Michelle truly means to Dillard.
"Momma, I am brought to tears to think of how blessed I am to have you as a mom! You have taught me what it means to give yourself to others and shown me what true joy and satisfaction is, trusting in Jesus for daily strength and looking to Him for happiness," she wrote.
Dillard also didn't shy away from recounting some of her best memories with Michelle growing up.
"I remember those afternoons when I could tell you were super tired because you'd have to stand up at the end of the table versus sitting in a chair just to keep from nodding off, but you kept pressing on with a joyful attitude! I remember that when I disappointed you, you didn't use any demeaning words, but would say something like, 'That's not like you to act that way, you're a sweet girl!' This allowed me to feel sad for disappointing you, but also made me feel valued by your praise," she continued.
Lastly, Dillard also shared how her mom helped her throughout her pregnancy.
"When I was in labor with Israel, I wanted you there because your presence brought peace, prayer, encouragement and comfort. You were so supportive before, during morning sickness, and postpartum too, coming and helping many days and nights wherever Derick and I needed you," she concluded.
In other news, Dillard and her husband recently wrapped up the first season of TLC's "Jill & Jessa: Counting On." However, until today, the network has yet to make an announcement regarding the reality TV show's cancellation or renewal.
Previously, the Duggar family starred in "19 Kids and Counting." Unfortunately, the show was cancelled by TLC after Josh Duggar admitted to sexually molesting his sisters when he was just a teenager.
