A 60-second Starbucks ad in celebration of all kinds of moms includes a two-mom family.
The Mother's Day commercial is narrated by Oprah Winfrey.
The video – a collage of keepsake photos which describe various mothers – opens with Winfrey saying, "Every mom is different."
"There's she's-got-all-the-answers mom, always-puts-herself-last mom, don't-mess-with-my-mom mom, liking-everything-I-share-on-Facebook mom, had-me-young-but-made-it-work mom, reminds-you-she-wants-to-be-a-grandma mom, two-moms-are-better-than-one mom, not your mom but like a mom," Winfrey says.
"Whatever type of mom you have, she deserves to hear 'I love you' more often. ...See you on Mother's day, and bring your mom."
