When were the moments you felt she was really the best mom? Did she pull off the impossible by making your dream of a robot princess birthday party come true? How about when she spent sleepless nights at your hospital bed when you had surgery? Did you spend a wonderful day hanging pictures together in your first apartment? Think of the ways she’s been a loving and caring mother, a strong woman, even a best friend when you needed one.

You can also think of all the ways she has positively impacted your life through her words and actions. What valuable life lessons have you learned from her? Did she give her undying support to your quilting hobby when you were a little girl? Was she supportive of all your dreams, even when it felt like the whole world was against you? Did she show her strength by starting her own business while still managing to give you an amazing childhood? Did she go above and beyond to ensure a happy family life after a big loss? These are the kinds of moments you can share to show that feel blessed to have the relationship you do today.

Once you have the content of what you want to say, try to write from the heart, speaking directly to your Mom. It’s normal to encounter moments of writer’s block, especially when it comes to writing something deeply personal. Here are some ideas that can help you get into a flow:

- Look through old photographs – they will bring back memories and remind you of how special your relationship is with Mom.
- Write down any random thoughts that come to mind – don’t worry about making sense or being concrete, just let the words flow.
- Talk with a close friend or family member about what you want to say and how it relates to your Mom. They may have a unique perspective that can help get your creative juices flowing.
- Find a quiet spot to sit and think – being alone with your thoughts can help you get out of the mental blocks and return to the heart of the matter: celebrating Mom!

When writing your letter, let go of any inhibitions or fear of judgment about what you should or shouldn’t say. Write whatever comes naturally and honestly express what you feel in your heart. She knows she’s not the perfect mother, so speak authentically. Even addressing some of the challenges you’ve had together, and overcome, can be a beautiful addition. Allow yourself to be vulnerable; it might be difficult at first, but letting out all those emotions will only make your message more powerful.

## “All my dance recitals…” – Make It Meaningful And Memorable

Include something unique about her that nobody else knows about her – something that represents the beautiful relationship you both have. This could be an inside joke, a poem or quote that resonates with both of you, or your favorite picture of the two of you together. Even including some of your text messages can show her how much you appreciate even the little moments you have together.
