Why your mom wants a letter more than flowers

Flowers are what everyone sends. A letter from her son, in an envelope, in handwriting, is what she will keep in the drawer with your baby pictures. You know this because you have seen the drawer. Mothers keep everything. Give her something worth keeping.

What to write to your mom

  • One thing she did that you did not understand until you were older. This is the paragraph that gets her.
  • One thing she still does that you notice and never say.
  • A memory she thinks you forgot.
  • Thank you, for one specific thing. Not "for everything."

Example

Mom, I didn't get it when I was fourteen and you drove me to practice at 5:30 every morning and sat in the car with a thermos. I thought that was just what happened. I know now you were getting up at 4:45. Nobody made you. You still text me when it's going to freeze. I'm thirty-one. I still check my hoses because of it. Thank you for the mornings. Happy Mother's Day. Jake

When to order for Mother’s Day

Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May. Letters are written and mailed within two business days, then USPS takes two to five. Order by the first of May to be safe. Late? Order it anyway. A Mother's Day letter in the third week of May is still the best thing she got.

Paper and envelope

Cream linen envelope, linen paper, a neat print or an easy cursive. Full Letter if you have a lot to say, Half Letter if you have one thing to say. Postage included. Pricing.

Questions

Should it be handwritten if she knows I type everything?

Yes. Tell her a real pen wrote it from what you typed. She will love that you went to the trouble.

Can I write to my grandmother too?

Yes. See the page for a letter to Grandma. Same idea, slower mail.

Can I send it to her at work?

Yes. Any US address. Put the company name on the first address line.
