    Hi,
    Could you help me translate this piece of text for a sentimental piece of wood for a present please:
    'You're the best mother that a person could ask for'
    I have a fair standard of Irish so I'd be able to translate the gist of it but as it is a long-term ornament I'd like it to be as correct as possible.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Word for word direct translations often dont work well, so here's my attempts:
    Mar mháthair, níl éinne inchurtha leat.
    Níl do shárú ann mar mháthair.

    I like the second one.
