✨ How to Personalize

• Add a memory: “Thanks for teaching me to ride a bike—I still use that ‘pedal harder!’ advice daily.”
• Include an inside joke: “Remember the time I tried to bake cookies? Your ‘help’ was very necessary.”
• Write a mini-poem:
  “You’re my sunshine on cloudy days,
  My safe place, my guiding rays.
  Happy Mother’s Day, Mom—
  I’m so lucky you’re my someone!”

Final Touch: Pair your message with a handwritten note, a small gift, or a photo of the two of you. The simplest words often carry the deepest meaning.

P.S. If you’re stuck, start with “I love you because…” and let your heart take over. 💕
