We always tend to associate events with emotions if the event or emotion is powerful enough. This holds true for Fluttershy when Mother's Day rolls around.
My first try at writing a story without the use of spoken words. (Picture courtesy of Free-Leaf on Deviantart. Link below)
My submission for a contest DarqFox is holding, enjoy. (Edit: The winner of the contest)

Hehe, glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for such kind words
And so it begins. Congratulations. You've gotten the first entry.
I will say that I saw a few little ticks in here like the use of adieu. (adieu is basically a permanent goodbye, whereas au revoir is more of a 'Until we meet again' sort of thing. However, you did manage to wrench my heart, and thus did incredibly well with that aspect. We'll see how you do, friend.

Curses! Adieu has foiled my plans once again! But none the less, thanks :3
And the first entry huh? Nice
This was absolutely adorable, and not just a little sad. Good job!

Thank you :3
Note to self: Do not listen to a new album while reading. Why? This started playing.
Anyways, great story! I didn't get my entry finished in time, though DarqFox did say if I finish it by Monday, I'll be able to post it...
Problem is actually finishing it.

I don't think I'll be able to...
It's only seven minutes from monday (at the time of posting) where I am, and I haven't worked on it in weeks...

Oh....um...You can...do it?
Hey, you're the author of "Despite All Odds", my favorite TwiShy fic (OTP).
Reading this NOW!!!!!
MUSTACHE!

Heh, why yes I am
Hope you enjoy this story as much as you did Despite All Odds
2704980 Just finished, and I must say your writing is just as masterful as it was in that story.

Aww, you're too kind
This was quite well written on its own terms... but I had trouble accepting that Flutters, after seven years with Twilight, wouldn't already have told her all this. It just doesn't fit with her character. That and a reference to Rarity's mother aside (going by what we see of her in "Sisterhooves Social", I cannot imagine her discussing fashion!) it was a solid enough read. You mostly pulled off the "no dialogue" requirement pretty well, though.
I was engaged in the story until shortly after this point:
I believe that the from this point on, your story is hindered, and not helped by the lack of dialog.
