Her children and grandchildren each record a message for Mother's Day from wherever they live. Mam gets a book of what they said.
Gathering is free. You won't need a card.
We are enabling over 1 million people to say it. Share the stories, love and gratitude. Your voice is what makes the world's greatest gift.
Put in her name, then send the link to your brothers and sisters.
Friends and family can capture a memory by voice, video, writing or photos, wherever they are in the world. It's easy on any phone and nobody needs an account!
We write out every voice note and gather it all into a podcast you can play and a beautiful book you can hold.
Start it in the sibling group and agree who's chasing whom.
Her sisters knew her before any of you did. Send them the link too.
A teenager can film theirs on their own phone!
The neighbours from the road she grew up on can record too, if you have their numbers.
Tell her about one ordinary thing she did that you think about now.
"Mam, it's Órfhlaith. I tried to make your apple tart last weekend and rang you twice about the pastry. Happy Mother's Day."
"Granny, I like when we feed the ducks. Happy Mother's Day."
"Hi Granny, it's Tadhgán. Thanks for the pancakes on Saturdays. Can we do the chocolate ones next time?"
"It's Mainchín. Forty years ago you let me walk you home from the dance in Ballina, and I'm glad you did. Happy Mother's Day, love."
Allow three weeks for us to print and post the book. If you're starting later, the podcast link and the book online are ready the day you order.
We gave a book of stories about Mam to her for Christmas and she said it was the best gift she had received. There were some stories she had never heard! She felt really surrounded by love.
