15 Best Mother’s Day Quotes & Greetings For Single Moms
Mother's Day is all about showing love and appreciation to moms everywhere -- including single mothers.
This Sunday marks the 110th official Mother's Day holiday in the U.S. and many other countries around the world.
Celebrated annually on the second Sunday in May, Mother's Day gives everyone the opportunity to pamper their mom, wife, daughter, grandmother, aunt, or stepmother -- whether it be with a day at the spa, a shopping spree, a bouquet of her favorite flowers, a dinner date, or even just a simple homemade card.
While it's important to express gratitude to the special women in one's life all year round, taking the time to send them a message or greeting and let them know they're loved on Mother's Day could make their day.
Single moms who are raising their children by themselves especially deserve some love on this day.
Here are 15 Mother's Day quotes and greetings from celebrities, authors, parenting experts and more for single moms, courtesy of Parade, Woman's Day and Reader's Digest.
