While appearing onThe Drew Barrymore Showin 2021, Witherspoon wasbrought to tearsspeaking about the love and respect she has for her mother.
“My mother worked night shifts, she worked weekends, so I had to kinda take care of myself; my brother and I would make dinner and everything. She was so tired, but she just loved her patients,” she continued. “She did labor and delivery, she did neonatal intensive care. I would bring her donuts, her and the other nurses.”
Witherspoon said she has always been “in awe of” her mom’s “endless compassion for other people.”
“And that’s how I feel whenever I see a nurse because I think to dedicate your life to caring for people is one of the most noble professions that exists. Thank you for your incredible hard work, taking care of people during this very difficult time,” she said.
