每年5月的第二个星期日，全世界都会庆祝母亲节。作为子女，我们总希望在这一天为母亲制造点惊喜和感动，因为我们经常会忘记对她们说“谢谢”和“爱你”。做母亲是世界上最艰苦的工作，但她们始终毫无怨言。虽然我们永远无法回报母亲的爱和牺牲，但至少可以在母亲节这天全心全意爱她们。
There are many things you can do for your mom on Mother's day. You can make a DIY gift for her, take her out for a special meal and even spend the entire day with her. Yes, put that phone on silent. You can always let her know with words what she means to you.
这一天你能为母亲做很多事。你可以为她亲手制作礼物，带她去吃别致的大餐，甚至一整天时间都陪在她身边。对，把手机调成静音。你可以亲口告诉她，她对你有多重要。
你可以在母亲节将下面这20句话分享给妈妈，向你生命中最独一无二的女人表达爱和感谢：
