If there are any mothers on this website, this question would be for you!It's mothers day this sunday coming and I wont be home for it because of university, so instead I want to send something home to my mum. The thing is she is like a best friend to me, I tell her everything and she's always there for me whenever I need advice or just someone to talk to. And these past two months have been the hardest for me in a while because I experienced my first love and heartbreak and she was there on the phone every day to help me through it and I wouldn't of been okay if she hadn't of just been there like she was.So I was thinking of sending home a plain card, but inside is a photo of us two and on the back of the photo is a message i wrote which tells her how much i appreciate how she's been there for me, how much i love her and having her as a best friend and not just a mum. Just telling her how amazing she is really. Do you think that's a nice idea for mothers day, or do you think she wont like it? If you were a mother and your daughter did that, would you like the idea? It's simple, but it's effective enough right?

 I'm a mom. I also am a motherless daughter having lost my best friend (my mom) when I was 35. I'm 53 now and not a day goes by I don't miss her and hate that I don't think I ever told her she was my best friend.
I think it's lovely what you have planned.

If you were my daughter I'd be beaming all day after receiving that. Intimate, genuine messages always work better than big expensive presents and such. This shows how much you care and that alone will make her day.

 As a father I can tell you that sentiments genuinely expressed like that would bring a tear to my eye. I would value a card like that more than gold.
My brother-in-law got a Father's Day card like that from his daughter. Know how difficult a relationship they'd had while she was growing up, to see her acknowledge his efforts made my heart sing for him.

To answer your question, yes!!! your mother will love that idea!!! Just reading your post how close you and your mother are touched my heart. If you gave me a card like that I would keep it forever, even if I didn't get a card from you wouldn't be a big deal, just knowing how much you love and appreciate me means the world to me, what a beautiful mom and daughter relationship!!!Wish I had that kind of relationship with my mother. My mother doesn't get cards from me anymore. About five years ago we were all at my mother's house for Christmas and this is what she said....""I don't read the card I just take the money out""... from that day I've never giving my mother a card because I was so hurt knowing that some of the cards that I gave her cost over $5 and sometime took me over an hour trying to find the right card.My mother doesn't appreciate anything I do for her, she doesn't get anything from me on no holidays or birthdays because she begs me for money all through the year. If I had the money that I've given my mother to save her house and pay her bills I could be rich.Two years ago on Christmas I gave my mother $600 in a beautiful gift box, she went to the casino and lost it all, when I asked her what did she buy she could not tell me, she said she bought some grocery. Enough is enough and I've had enough with my mother, she has to make it the best way she can, I'm done!!That is so nice of you to do that for your mother.Good luck

 Yes, she'll love it ,I'm sure . Well, being your Mom she'll appreciate ANY card or message anyway , but this one with your pic together is a nice, intimate, personal touch. Very good idea. Mother's day in March ? It must be an UK thing, I guess. Wasn't it supposed to be the second sunday of May ?....
