Mother’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate our mothers and to be celebrated as mothers or mother figures ourselves. There are so many ways to mark the moment, from special meals or outings to flowers and other gifts. But showing your love and appreciation doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. In fact, it can be as simple as a single sentence spoken with genuine emotion.
All your one-sentence wish has to be is loving, true and shared with affection. It can be written into a card, spoken on the phone or over a video call, or even sent electronically.
