He further added, “Of all the boys who have ever been on television, I for sure had the best TV mom.” "I love you," he ended the video, taking a bite of a chocolate chip cookie. In the video’s caption of the video, Van Der Beek explained that Humes began the thoughtful tradition after his mother Melinda died in 2020 at 70 years old.
“It doesn’t matter that I’m now older than she was when we first worked together, or that I’ve moved to Texas,” the popular star wrote in the caption. “She bakes them, and finds me, and does it from the bottom of her heart — and it always warms mine.”
