The mom then goes on to ask her about her family and she tells her that both her parents are deaf and taught her sign language.  While talking to her a light shines and the lady remembers that MJ is her daughter and that she has another child too.

Keep a box of tissues handy because you are sure going to need it especially when MJ signs ‘You’re my mama!’
