The relationship with our mothers is filled with up and down moments in time, but this Sunday is a time to remember that no matter what, she’s had a substantial impact in shaping who we are today.
In most cases throughout our lives, mom has been the primary caregiver. She has taken care of our bumps and bruises and been our greatest advocate. After all, her life revolves mostly around the family! That's why she deserves this day of recognition.
The concept of Mother's Day dates to the 1600s, but modern-day Mother's Day traditions began in 1905 through a campaign in the US by Ann Marie Jarvis after her mother passed away. Jarvis started a crusade to have a recognized holiday to honor mothers as the person who does more for each of us than any other in the world.
Congress rejected Anna's proposal for a national holiday, even mocking her, but by 1911 every US State observed Mother's Day. Then in 1914, Woodrow Wilson officially deemed the second Sunday in May as a national holiday to honor our mothers. It was the second Sunday of May when Ann Marie Jarvis lost her mother.
In 1915, the second Sunday of May also became officially recognized as Mother's Day in Canada.
Enjoy time with your mom this weekend. Honor her with your siblings and loved ones. If she has passed, why not gather with all the same people to celebrate in remembrance of who she was and the impact she had on your lives?
