10 Mother’s Day Quotes That Will Make Mom Cry Happy Tears

No matter what gift you give on Mother’s Day – whether it’s a picture collage, a bunch of flowers, or a lunch date – these Mother’s Day quotes will make Mom feel extra special.

But when it comes to Moms, the love we feel means that words often fail us.

To conquer your writer’s block:

• Use a quote from someone else. Find a quote from a famous poet or songwriter. There’s a reason they’re famous! It’s because they’re wonderful at creating lyrical perfection.
• Use a quote as inspiration for your own heartfelt Mother’s Day message
• Say I love you. You can never say it enough! Write it more than once for extra effect!

Write your words:

• On a gift card.
• On a canvas collage. When creating a canvas photo collage as a gift for Mom, add a loving quote in one corner. If you’re not great at graphic design, use Canva to help make it classy.
• As a Facebook share. Publicly declare your love for Mom online. Tag her in a heartfelt post so she can see you’re out and proud about your love. Cue the tears!
