It is so important to express gratitude to your mother (or mother in law or a woman of influence). If your relationship with your mom is a little turbulent now, it’s vital you get the pen out right away. As I was sorting through my moms belongings, I came across a few notes that I had written to her over the years. They were notes that expressed the gratitude I was feeling towards her. For example, here are the words I wrote during a very difficult time in her life and on her 71 birthday:
Hi Mom,
This year is a year of new beginnings for you. Thanks for all the sacrificesyou made for all of us throughout your life. You endured a lot of hardship when we were young in order to keep our family together. I wish you happiness like you have not had before in all your years. Love you, Linda
I found this note, and others like it, in her top dresser drawer. I like to think they brought her comfort over and over again. Ladies please, write your mom a note today. I can’t think of a richer gift really.
