TODAY host Hoda Kotb has celebrated Mother’s Day with a touching tribute to her daughters Hope and Haley, as well as to her own mom.
The 58-year-old has been honest with fans about feeling “helpless” amid Hope’s recent health crisis, and her followers were happy to see the star’s new post featuring a series of smiling photos.

On Sunday morning, Hoda shared a series of pictures from throughout the years with her daughters.
The first snap showed Haley smiling as her mom held then-baby Hope, while another featured the two tots just after mealtime.
Other photos showed Hoda and her daughters enjoying a day at the beach and spending time with her mom.
In the caption, the Today host wrote: “Happy mother’s day! Hopey and Haley — you made me what I had always dreamed of becoming — a mother.
“And to my mom — nothing was even possible without your love xoxo”
A few minutes later, Hoda shared another post to her Instagram that featured a single snap.
In the photo, the host gave a big smile as she sat on the floor with her daughters as she held up paintings they had just done.
On two canvases, the little ones had used their painted handprints and turned them into flowers.
Earlier this year, Hoda revealed her three-year-old daughter Hope struggled with a medical crisis that landed her in the intensive care unit.
After taking a couple weeks off from work, the host told viewers upon her return in April: “My youngest daughter Hope was in the ICU for a few days and in the hospital for a little more than a week.”
Hoda continued: “She is back home and I’ve been waiting for that day to come and we are watching her closely.
“I realize when your child is ill, the amount of gratitude you can have for people for who helped you out…
“I’m grateful for the doctors at Weill Cornell who are amazing and the nurses and I’m grateful to my family and friends like you who were there every single day.”
Hoda shared another update on Hope’s progress while celebrating Al Roker’s entrance into the Broadcasting + Cable Hall of Fame earlier this month.
“She’s doing better. She is on the mend, and we are taking it one step at a time,” the host revealed to The U.S. Sun.
Last week, Jenna Bush Hager brought up Hoda’s daughter’s health struggles during their edition of the Today.
Jenna decided to get “honest” with her co-host as she admitted she felt “sad” about not helping her through the difficult situation the way she felt she should have.
She shared with viewers: “When Hoda’s daughter wasn’t feeling well, I just wasn’t there for her the way I wanted to be.
“I didn’t know how to be and I felt terrible about it but I didn’t know what to do.
“So I just said it, I just said, ‘I feel like I haven’t been there for you.'”
Hoda told her: “I still remember when you said that to me and it touched me deeply.
“It meant everything to me that you said that and I know you, inside and out, you know what, life is like that.”
The camera then cut back to Jenna crying as she blurted out: “God, what is happening to me? We went from brutally honest to weeping!”
A member of the Today crew handed her a box of tissues as Jenna dabbed at her eyes.
