Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson gave his mother the surprise of a lifetime Sunday as the Super Bowl winner bought her a brand new home.

For Mother's Day, he wrote, "All these years you have never asked me for anything ... only thing you ever wanted is for me to LOVE. Well thanks for loving us the way you do. This ones for you. I love you momma."

In the video, Wilson calmly hands over the keys to a new home, while his mother Tammy stands in shock.

Yeah, you should probably grab some tissues for this one.

Wilson gently holds his mother, as she continues to sob happy tears. Even as she opens the front door, she says, "You're lying to me."

“It’s your house," Wilson says back as his wife Ciara watches in the background.

It's a beautiful video and gesture, and embodies what all the mothers around the globe mean to their grateful sons and daughters.

Happy belated Mother's Day!
