Not even a text from DD

I have 2 DC, both early 20s. DD is in South America for her year abroad at uni. DS lives 30 min away.
For Mother's Day DD hasn't even messaged. I left it for Sunday and yesterday, incase she was busy or time zones. But she has messaged in the family group chat since.
She has been travelling over Father's Day for the last few years and never once forgot to send a gift and give DH a call.
I'm pretty certain she knows it was Mother's Day as her brother posted on Facebook, and her cousins did too, for their grandma and they all tagged her in the posts.
While she's been away we've been texting most days (not directly but in the family group chat) and she FaceTimes once a fortnight, which will be this Thursday.

AIBU to be upset? Should I mention it when we next talk?

Just to give her complete benefit of the doubt, we celebrate Mother’s Day on a different date from most other counties. So while she will have seen reminders for Father’s Day on her travels, she probably hasn’t seen anything for British Mother’s Day. Maybe she will send something lovely in May!
