In regards to Mother's Day, I wanna bring up the anime remake of Dororo.

Specifically this character, Jukai.

Spoilers for the 2019 anime.

At some point, during his journey, Hyakkimaru learns (once he regained his hearing) what a 'Mama' is.

A 'Mama' is someone who cares for you, nurtured you, fed you, made you feel warm...

When Hyakkimaru was abandoned as a sightless, hearless, limbless, skinless baby, used as a sacrifice by his own father, and left to die...

He was found by Jukai, a man rot with guilt over his involvement in executing would-rebels for a corrupt warlord and wanting to die. This man found this baby...and raised him, gave him a home, gave him a name, a chance to live, prosthetics he carved himself...

Jukai is Hyakkimaru's 'Mama'

And this will always make me tear up T.T
