How very sweet, Alex. What a beautiful letter to your mom. And what a wonderful gesture to give her her flowers while she can still receive them.

What a heartfelt essay. I loved the ending about the two promises you make mum. Living a full happy life is what every mum wishes for her child 😍

This whole missile of gratitude is just beautiful, but your comment about being the only one who got the privilege of being your mom's son really hit home for me. In my case, I had to share that privilege with one other person, but dang, still feeling a new level of gratitude in this moment from your way of saying this. Thanks!

This is infinitely better than a stupid Hallmark card. What a lovely essay :)
