How to Watch

Watch the Season 27 premiere of The Voice on Monday, February 3 at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

In a picture posted to Instagram just before Christmas, Daly showed a side-by-side of a note his mother wrote to him in 2004, and his wrist bearing the same message. In the caption, he explained the special abbreviation his mom — Pattie Daly Caruso, who passed away in 2017 — used in notes to her son.

"I’ve been waiting forever to get this tattoo. I always loved my mom’s handwriting. When I was a kid she’d write notes on my school lunch napkins & end it with 'ILYTWWF' (I Love You The Whole World Full) then on every card or note I ever got since," Daly shared.

It's not just the note but the timing that's meaningful to Daly. As he explained in the post, "It was extra special to get this [tattoo] done at Christmas, which she LOVED. In fact, to this day I have never 'X' abbreviated 'Christmas' because she refused to cross out the Christ. 'He’s the reason for the season!' I miss her something fierce, but so grateful for all the incredible memories. Merry Christmas all!"

The beautiful tribute struck a chord with many commenters, including TODAY's Al Roker, who wrote, "This is the sweetest thing I have seen. What a memory." Roker's co-worker Jenna Bush Hager added, "This is amazing."
