I respect that his mom stopped drinking because “I didn’t want to embarrass him”. That’s awesome!

Well his mom came in and i just remeber her being so nice and patiant to me and asking me my name. I was super nervous because peoole kept telling me THATS SHAQS MOM DONT MESS UP and she saw inwas nervous but she made me feel so comfortable she was like baby take your time im a person just like you dont be nervous im in no rush, and then when i loaded her groceries in her car she gave me a 10 doller tip! Once again i will forever have tremendous love and respect for shaqs mom she is a good woman with a good heart

@illusive*, your comment about Shaq’s mom is very moving and glad you had a great experience meeting her. I think That’s why Shaq and his kids are so humble. They take it from this lovely and humble lady, Lucille O’Neil. I used to work at supermarket as a young adult in Boston MA and I know exactly how one felt when a customer treats you with dignity. Thanks for sharing.
I can feel her spirit through this phone! She just seems so endearing. I love her ❤️

I Would have given the world to have a mother like this. Unfortunately it was not to be, but I am still standing. I spent a lot of years being angry but then I realized that she really gave me the greatest gift, by showing me how it should not be done. Being a loving mother and a good parent is my greatest accomplishment. Shaq, is a lucky man.
