who wrote in to tell us about her mom.

She says, dear Ellen, my mom and I look forward to watching your show everyday.

It's something we bond over and every time we watch, she says,

it would be my dream to go and see her show.

My mom was a single mother for many years and

did everything she could to take care of her three kids.

She's the most amazing person I know and I want to give back to her for

all she's done for us.

Love, Theresa.

So we sent Jeanie to Wisconsin and earlier today she surprised Theresa, take a look.

>> Hi Ellen.

I'm here outside of Eileen and Theresa's house.

Now Eileen is at work at Kohl's and we found out that Theresa's at home so

we thought we would stop by.
