Michelle's entrance got a standing ovation, and the moderator asked the former FLOTUS if she's aware that a lot of people love her as they gave up watching the penultimate episode of the "HBO" hit show "Game of Thrones" to be with her.

The mother-of-two responded that she understands their sacrifice as her daughter, Sasha, who is a fan of the show, gave up watching it to support her at the last event in Nashville.

The discussion moved on to the South Chicago native's last minutes in the White House, and she revealed that as they hurried to leave before President Trump's arrival, there was a lot of emotions and chaos as everyone cried and hugged each other.

The author revealed she didn't cry because she didn't want anyone thinking her tears were as a result of the incoming family.

Since the day was Mother's Day, the proud mother of two girls said she tried as much as possible to ensure her children didn't lose sight of life after the White House by making sure they did their laundry and made their beds themselves.

Days earlier, Michelle Obama shared an early Mother's Day post on Instagram. She acknowledged the women in life outside her mother and how much they contributed to the person she became.

In another post, she recognized and thanked her mother for giving her the freedom to develop and become a self-sufficient person.
