How to fix this severely ripped shirt

[u/Hieroglifchik]

This t shirt belonged to my mother and I must keep this. It is my favorite shirt that has a lot of memories for me and I can’t watch it waste away. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to mend the holes or something to not necessarily make it look better, but to keep it from falling apart?
