Last Mother's Day, I wanted to surprise my mom with pink carnations, which symbolize gratitude. I saved my pocket money for weeks, but I only had enough to buy one flower. Feeling a little disappointed, I added a handmade card with the words, "Thank you for everything."

When I gave it to her, her eyes lit up. She hugged me tightly and said, "This is the most beautiful gift because it's from you." Seeing her smile made me realize that love isn't about grand gestures—it's about sincerity. That single carnation still sits in a vase on her desk, reminding us both of that special day.
