This Is The Only Gift You Should Give Mom This Mother's Day

Mother's Day is May 13 and all the best brunch spots are already booking up! While sipping mimosas is undoubtedly a fine ways to celebrate, nothing is guaranteed to make mom tear up quite like a heartfelt thank you. (Come on, you know that's the goal.)

From loving us through our less-than-perfect moments to giving us the best advice, our mothers have done so much for us. They've shown us strength, patience and unconditional love — not to mention helped us survive those awkward teenage years. For all that and more, we think every mom deserves a big thank you this May, and we want to help.

This Mother's Day, we're giving you the chance to up your greeting-card game and give mom a digital thank you that will last forever. From now until May 11, we're inviting Patch readers to write a love letter to their mom and we'll feature it in your town's newsfeed on Mother's Day.

Email us your Mother's Day letter here

Whether you want to brag to your hometown about how awesome your mom is, pay tribute to a mother who is no longer with us, or recognize someone special who has been like a mother to you, all letters are welcome. Just be sure to include your name, hometown and a photo , and send it to locallove@patch.com by May 11. Happy Mother's Day!

By sending us your photos, you give Patch the right to publish them along with your story.
