On July 7, Dwyane Wade was on NBC’s “Jenna and Friends” as a guest co-host with Jenna Bush Hager. During the live show his mom Jolinda Wade gave him a surprise. A video came on the screen.

The moment was touching. Jolinda’s words were full of love and memories. In the 1990s, when she was in jail, she and her son Dwyane Wade used to send letters to each other. It was their way to stay close. In her message, she spoke about that time and said those letters gave her strength every day.

The full message was read on air as part of a surprise segment. “You are and have always been just that - a blessing,” Jolinda said. “From Day 1, I loved you and knew you were special.”

The letter praised Dwyane not only for his success in basketball but also for his role as a father and family man.
