Let's all just take a moment to stan Tyler Baltierra's most recent post. As Teen Mom OG fans may know, the reality star was primarily raised by his mom, Kimberly Forbes. So, on Father's Day, he was sure to thank her for wearing both hats.

The MTV star took to Instagram with a heartwarming message about the impact his mother had on his life. "I just want to say Happy Father's Day to one of the strongest most influential people in my life...my mom," Tyler began. "I did not have the luxury of having my dad around since he decided to choose drugs over his children, but my mom NEVER gave up on us kids. She always put her children first no matter what."

"I remember her taking us out to eat one time, but she didn't order anything," he continued in his eye-opening post. "I remember asking her why she wasn't going to eat & all she said was I am not hungry. I didn't realize until I got home that there was barely anything to make a bowl of cereal at home let alone feed 2 kids. She later told me as an adult that she bounced the check to pay for us to eat."

Tyler went on to praise his mom for all her selfless acts through the years, adding, "My mom bought Christmas, my mom bought me my first bike, my mom took me camping. I had to teach myself how to be a man, but my mother taught me how to treat a woman. How to respect women & how to be a loving & compassionate person."

The reality star concluded his post by thanking his mother for being the best mom and dad. Once fans saw the emotional post, they praised him for posting it. "Very beautifully said Tyler, and I know there is a lot of people that can relate," one fan commented. "What a tribute to your mom. And an example for so many others who walk a similar path," another sweetly said. And a third even added, "Well that made me cry! Your Mom clearly did a wonderful job as you are an amazing father and husband."

Tyler clearly has a lot to be thankful for and we're glad he took the time to honor his mom like this.
