“Mother’s Day quotes” must certainly be the most Googled term on the second Sunday of May every year. This year, Mother’s Day falls on May 10 in many parts of the world, and children of all ages (including some well into their middle ages and beyond) are searching for the perfect words to describe their relationship with their mother.

Many people are searching for Mother’s Day quotes for their own Mother’s Day cards.

When that layer goes, whatever is left of your childhood goes with her.”
