He's on the verge of making history, but Tom Brady always has time for his folks.

The 39-year-old San Mateo, California native posted a shot he took with his parents, Tom Brady Sr. and Galynn Brady, during this week's Super Bowl 51 festivities in Houston, Texas.

'Sandwich kiss for Mom at Picture Day!!! Go Pats!!!!' the New England Patriots quarterback captioned the image, in which he's kissing one of his mom's cheeks while his father is kissing the other.

Mr. Perfect: With Hollywood looks and a Canton-bound arm, Brady is one of America's most well-known athletes, and will likely remain in the limelight long after he hangs up his cleats

The 6ft4 athlete - who has the most wins of any signal-caller in NFL history - revealed earlier this week that his mother has been dealing with (undisclosed) health issues.

'It’s personal with my family, and I’m just hoping everyone’s here on Sunday to share in a great experience,' said the gridiron great, who's been married to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen since 2009. 'But it has been a tough year.

'Every family goes through different things and you know my family has always been a great support system for me and hopefully we can make everyone happy on Sunday.'

Leader: Brady could set a new record for Super Bowl wins from a QB if he prevails Sunday

The four-time Super Bowl champion can pass NFL legends Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana as the all-time winningest quarterback in the game's history with a win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Adding to the mystique of the highly-anticipated match-up for Brady, will be his mother's presence in the stands.

'It’s a special moment; it’s always been that way,' he said. I think this year is - it will be as special as it’s ever been.”

The famed quarterback, of course, might have extra motivation to capture his fifth ring after sitting out the first four games of the season serving a suspension linked to his use of deflated footballs during the Pats' 2014 AFC championship game.

The University of Michigan alum might have one extra incentive to dominate Sunday, as he finished runner-up in NFL MVP voting after tossing an impressive 28 touchdowns to a mere two interceptions amid his shortened season.

The winner? Matt Ryan, the Falcons' quarterback he will face off against when their two teams collide Sunday.

Super Bowl 51 airs on Fox Sunday at 6:30/5:30c.
