Mother's Day has come and gone, and Savannah Chrisley did not love any part of it as she didn't get to spend it with her mother Julie Chrisley who has been imprisoned for months.
This may be no surprise as she opened up to her fans earlier about not being in high spirits ahead of the holiday due to her parents' absence.
Now, she is lamenting how depressing the special day ws while still singing praises for her mom, who is everything she dreams of becoming.
Savannah Chrisley Admits That This Dreadful Mother's Day 'Hit Hard'
The social media personality marked Mother's Day by honoring her mom with a montage of memories on Instagram, from when she was a little girl to her grown-up self.
Set to Kacey Musgraves' "Mother," the Instagram Reel began with a throwback photo of her dad, Todd, embracing Julie from behind before leading to a more recent shot of herself beaming with her mother in the woods.
Savannah's niece Chloe was also included in the mashup as she was seen with her aunt and grandma at a pumpkin yard and with Julie alone in an office. More throwback pictures included photos of media personality alongside her brothers Chase and Grayson.
Conveying how hard it has been witnessing holidays without being able to celebrate with her parents physically, the beauty enthusiast wrote in the caption:
"Mother's Day – this one hit hard! I've been DREADING the holidays. First, it was Easter, then Dad's Birthday, now Mother's Day, and on the 16th, it will be Gray's 17th birthday."
She expressed her anger and disdain for all the "firsts" happening in her life since her parents' arrest but still voiced how much she missed her mother "so bad" her heart hurt.
Savannah then cleared the air about the misconceptions people had about Julie, writing, "For those that have misconceptions of who JULIE CHRISLEY is… let me help you."
She called the matriarch "outstanding" and "amazing" as a mother, wife, daughter, and friend. The "Unlocked with Savannah" podcast host also noted that the older Chrisley was "loyal," "fierce," a breast cancer survivor, and a mother to not only her kids and everything the podcaster hoped to be.

"I MISS YOU, MAMA – I will forever fight for you," Savannah added before ending with a note shutting down those circulating "nasty rumors" questioning her parents' love and dividing her family.
She proclaimed, "My parents are MADLY in love with each other and will come out of this trial even stronger and more in love than before."
Her candid words hooked her millions of followers as they sent love and positivity her way, including her brother Chase, who dropped a white heart emoji. Similarly, a sympathetic fan remarked, "Happy Mother's Day to your amazing mama — Praying for y'all today and always."
Another supporter penned, "God sees beauty through the ashes, no matter what. My heart breaks for you and your family. Sending you so much love today."
One more follower declared, "Happy Mother's Day to your mom. Surrounding you with love, sweet friend," followed by another who gushed, "Love this. You're one of the strongest people I know, and you get that from your mom, who is a modern day Wonder Woman. I love you and your mom. Always here for you!"
A few days before Mother's Day, The Blast reported that Savannah went on her Instagram Story to reveal how she and her niece felt about the holiday. She uploaded a screenshot of Chloe's text to her, indicating how upset the younger one was about not having Julie around.
Chloe's message read, "I'm sad [crying emoji] mom [Julie] will not be here," while her aunt wrote across the update, "The things no one talks about."
The Former Beauty Pageant Competitor Spent Her First Holiday In Grief Without Her Parents
Mother's Day will not be Savannah's first holiday without her parents as the past Easter was a difficult time for the famous reality family.
She marked the period with a touching video on her Instagram, set to Miranda Lambert's "The House That Built Me" and showed her fridge covered with pictures of her family attached to Bible passages that resonated deeply with her.
In the caption, the cosmetic company founder divulged that she had never spent any holiday without her mother and father, but that changed during Easter.
She further expressed her distress, explaining that their absence intensified every holiday. "When you lose someone special, your world lacks its celebratory qualities. Holidays magnify that loss. The sadness deepens, and the loneliness can be isolating," Savannah lamented.
