Hi everyone,

My name is Sean Platt and I’m new here at Dad-O-Matic. I’m also known around the Net as Writer Dad. I’m a big believer that life’s a lot better when you use the right words.

Mother’s Day is here. We all know we need to call up mom, wish her a happy Mother’s Day and maybe get her something extra special or take her out for a nice meal. In Russia, they don’t celebrate Mother’s Day. Instead they share Woman’s Day, a holiday celebrating all woman; mothers, daughters and wives. I’ve always loved this.

This Mother’s Day, I’d like to talk about the moms we’re married to. Gentleman, whether you have the perfect present, are right now undecided or haven’t yet remembered, I have the perfect additional gift, guaranteed to make the lady who loves you start to love you even more.

Ladies, back me up here.

Tell her how you feel. She is the mother to your children. By definition, she deserves it. Start with a single thoughtful thread, then spin it into something special. She will love a letter, but a card comes awfully close. If your creativity’s running low on fuel, you can even send an email.

The common denominator: tell her how you feel.

It doesn’t have to be long, but it must be honest. Even if you are only saying the same things you normally do, it still pays to put it in writing. The written word gives our thoughts permanence and women understand this.

I promise, your words will touch her deeply. Give it a try, then come back on Monday and tell me how it went.

I’ve written mine. I had no idea how they would turn out until I started doing it. That’s the way it almost always is for me. Maybe you already know exactly what yours are going to be, and you started thinking about them two paragraphs back. Perhaps you have no idea.

Just start doing it and soon it will be done. For the cost of a few minutes, you might have the best Mother’s Day ever.

As an added bonus, I have a piece of Mother’s Day poetry for the children. Print it out, have the kids decorate it and then read it to mom. Best Mother’s Day ever times two.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. You make the world a better place.

Thanks for having me here at Dad-O-Matic, it’s good to be here.
