Has your W mentioned one way or another about your actions on Mother's Day? If she doesn't want anything from you then honor her request and only help your kids. If she has not mentioned anything you may get her a card if you feel like it would be appropriate with your current situation.

I would avoid anything about your feelings towards her and just focus on her as a mother, not a wife. Definitely avoid any "I love you" stuff as this would be forcing your feelings on your wife. This is delicate stuff and hard to figure out; I often think there is not a right answer. Try to keep the card as neighborly as possible. Maybe a card and message that would be appropriate for a coworker or sister.
