“Hey, Mom, if you’re reading this, I love you. Thanks so much for all your support and kindness over the years—it has meant so much to me. Love, X.” Feel free to use this as a boilerplate greeting for your Mother’s Day card. Or, you can send her this slide show and say that there was a typo with the “X” part. I know I’ll be sending it to my mother. I love you, Mom!
