We’re kicking off the week with a bit of cuteness we spotted on social media.

With school holidays wrapped up, we just want to give a shoutout to all the moms out there doing their best to make their kids feel loved and seen. If you're a mom, you'll know that it's not always easy.

But staying true to your own path and doing what's right for your family? That's what really gets you through the tough days.

A woman who goes by Lebo on social media shared a heartwarming moment she spotted on the roads of Ekurhuleni this past weekend.

She filmed a mom and her child near Chris Hani Crossing Mall in Gauteng. In the clip, the child is holding onto the back of her mom’s motorised wheelchair as they make their way along the side of the road.

The weather wasn’t great, but the mom took it slow, making sure her child was safe.

Many people commented on the video, saying how sweet the moment was. The mom, Khanya, even joined the comments to explain what happened.

She said she had to go to the mall to buy warm clothes for her kids for church, since she couldn’t do laundry. Her daughter wasn’t feeling well the day before but insisted on going with her.

Khanya went live on TikTok, speaking honestly about how hard adulthood can be. 

"No one will prepare you for the fact that you might have money today, and tomorrow it is gone; you might have friends today, and tomorrow they are gone," she said.

Listening to her share how she keeps going by holding onto her faith was humbling. It’s something many of us can relate to.

Here’s to facing the things we’re not ready for – and doing it with heart.
