The matriarch of the Mahomes family replied, “Yeah when I look at some of my friends on social media or in different things, I’m jealous that they have this normal situation. Their kids are the same age as Patrick and Jackson, and we don’t. It’s super difficult. I can say we’re blessed, and Patrick’s living out his dream, and I want all of my kids to do that, but the attacks from different directions have been super overwhelming as a mother, as a friend of my kids, and just as a human. It’s hard.”
