Jesus commanded us to Love and honor our mothers... am I right? If that is the case... Since he loves and Honors his mother.... Shouldn't we love and Honor what he loves...?

Yes we should. However, some people seem to go near that fine line that separates love/honor and worship. Jesus also commanded us to love and honor our fathers, yet we don't see people coming close to that line with Joseph, who was essentially Jesus' adoptive father on earth and the one who tied him into the lineage of David and Abraham.

Careful here,

The commandment is "Honor thy father and thy mother."

Not love.

To me, this is further proof that God exists. Can you imagine the trap that commandment would become if the word "love" were to appear there?

I don't love my mother, but I honor her.
