I sent my mother a thank you note, just because, and she called me right when she received it, as she was very touched.

Also if you have children, Mom always appreciates a card from the Grandkids. :)
It makes a fun project for the children and Grandma (MOM) very happy to know it was made from the heart. And to make it even more special, make her a card along with the kids from YOU! :)

My mother and I live quite a distance apart, we stay connected by telephone, I wanted more daily contact so everyday I mail Mama something fun and uplifting: postcards, news clippings, photos, greeting cards, her favorite things that fit into an envelope.

I want to remind her each day that I love her and there will be happy surprises waiting in the mailbox. The cost: minimal The impact: resounding.

Called my Mom all 3 days this weekend & holiday while I was going to and from work. We talked about the times we spent together whenI was a child and the time we spent together at my birthday party this weekend with my granddaughter, her great granddaughter.

I do this challenge every day. I always thank my mother for being there for me and for just being her!!

This is a challenge I do everyday. I talk to my mother almost every day but do I really thank her for all she has done. Well, today I will. Thanks for making life easier.

MarthaCFE, Your entry made me emotional. I can’t imagine life without my mom. In 2002, she had a near fatal brain hemorrage but she made it through and recovered nicely. I was only 18 years old at that point and was heading to college. Everything stopped when my mom got sick and needed her family with her. I think about that so much and its hard for me to argue with her these days because of the last words I said to her that day, just before she got sick. We were having an arguement and words were being tossed. i told her ” I hate you” and walked out of the house to go have a fun day with my friends and get that arguement out of my head. I regret the rebel i was back then and choose my words very carefully these days. I would have lived a horrible life knowing that my last words to my mom were that I hated her. I think god gives us second chances and I’m so greatful for the second opportunity to be here with my mom. Our relationship is weird because I have a hard time showing emotion but she shows enough for us both!

My mom passed away last year after an extended illness (progressive dementia). I miss her every day, but cherish all the time we had together, especially as she began to lose her memory. Stay strong and healthy and let’s find a cure for dementiaand Alzheimer’s !

I cannot think of anyone on this earth that I respect more than my mother.

I never understood how important my mother and grandmother really were to me until I had my own children. Now I really understand what they went through raising me… I am so thankful!

It was really nice being able to thank my mom, gramma, mom-in-law, best friend’s mom, and various other moms in my life. Most importantly, I make it a priority to show gratitude to these wonderful moms in my life on a regular basis. Life is precious and each moment is a real blessing.

Its hard for me to show emotion with my mom because she has always been the one to show so much. I guess at some point in life, I kinda just pulled away. But she is very aware of my uttermost love and affection for her. This morning I got up and surprised her with a hughe breakfast that coffee sitting at her kitchen table nice and warm. I left a card next to the coffee that read ” no matter what I do in this life, I never forget who loves me most. Thank you so much for your unconditional care”. I left this morning before she got up, but I know she got it!

My Mom loves just getting cards but I have to be careful because the verse is the most important thing to her. It has to come from my heart, which it does.

I’m a broke college student, so i have to be creative when showing love for my mom and dad on their special days. even though i’m in my 20s i love making cards and pictures for my mom (keep in mind i still draw like a 1st grader). mostly i just like being able to spend time with my parents which is getting harder since i go to college outside of my hometown.
