Lynn here - my mom passed away when I was just starting my family over 25 years ago. I miss her terribly and cherish what a great mom she was. She was always willing to babysit my children (age 2 and 4 1/2 at the time of her death) and come help me with laundry, cleaning or anything I needed. Lucky for me, we did have the opportunity to spend a lot of time together throughout the years. Just a reminder to cherish your mom while she is still with you! As a Mom, below is one of my most treasured gifts from my son - his teacher gave me this, a writing prompt from first grade asking who is the most important person to him, below is his response in his words

Olivia here - I am lucky to call my mom one of my best friends, 10 year old me would have said you are crazy for saying that, but it is true. My appreciation for her grows as I get older, recognizing all the hard work and sacrifices she made to ensure that me and my brothers had everything that we needed growing up. She is one of my biggest role models, and supporters. I truly do not know where I would be without her.

There are many heartfelt things you can do for your mom on Mother's Day. The most important thing is to show your mom how much she means to you and how much you appreciate all that she does.
