Home and Away fans know that Ada Nicodemou has a wonderfully close relationship with her son, Johnas.
But the depth of their connection has been proved once again through a letter penned by the nine-year-old.
During lockdown, the duo braved homeschooling together, and as most parents know, this process can be difficult at some times and rewarding at others.
Now, Johnas is back at school, and on one of his first days back, he was instructed by his teacher to honour Ada with an “Amazing Award.”
Johnas’ words touched Ada’s heart.

The actor took to her Instagram Story to share the wonderful words he penned to pay tribute to her hard work.
He wrote, “Dear mum. Thanks for helping me through a tough time (homeschooling) I couldn’t do home learning without your help. Johnas.”
Of course, Ada was deeply touched by this token of gratitude, and she captioned her post, “I received an award today for homeschooling, thanks, my beautiful boy. Love u so much and enjoyed every part of it.”
Even though the pair may feel nostalgic for that time together, Ada wasn’t afraid to share the hard reality of home learning during lockdown.

Ada captioned the stressful snap, “Ready for another day of homeschooling 🏡❤️.”
Co-star and close family friend Lynne McGranger had commented on the post, “Good luck to you all 😂🙏🥰💋.”
Home learning wasn’t their only struggle in lockdown – they also dealt with missing their family after so much time apart.
At one point, the Home and Away star shared an Instagram story about how much they’ve been missing their loved ones.
“Got to hangout with my gorgeous goddaughter today.”

Ada captioned the picture, “Missing his little cousin.”
Thankfully, the family was able to reunite when Sydney’s lockdown rules eased, and the 44-year-old met up with Sofia at a local park; and she captioned their adorable pictures together, “Got to hangout with my gorgeous goddaughter today… she’s super cuddly and adorable 🥰 ❤️.”
