People say there’s no love like a mother’s love. I wholeheartedly agree. Those of us who are lucky enough to still have our mothers with us need to show our appreciation more often. I’m sure we’re all guilty of the same thing — taking our mother’s love for granted, not saying how grateful we are to have her with us, not appreciating everything she is and everything she does.
But telling our mom how much we love her — because we do, we really do — can sometimes be hard. Whenever I go to tell her seriously how much she means to me and how lost I’d be without her, my heart clenches, and a lump appears in my throat out of nowhere. Perhaps you have the same problem as I do? I solve it by leaving my mother love letters and sending her cute I love you messages for moms that range from profound quotes to cutesy notes. She loves and keeps all of them.
If you think that’s a good idea, or if you’d just like to show your appreciation for your mom, here are the best I love you messages for moms.
