Here are some things to consider when honoring your mom:

1. Write about what your mom means to you.
2. Visualize a time when your mother was laughing. Recall a time when you two shared a good laugh over something.
3. Write a physical description of your mother. Write as if you were looking at a movie rather than a photograph.
4. Concentrate on a particular habit that your mother has and write about it.
5. Write about a moment when you discovered something new about your mother (maybe seeing her in a fresh way).
