Let’s remember – Mother’s Day is May 11
The American concept of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official holiday in 1914. It is also a time to show your love for other wonderful women in your life who were a “mother” figure to you.
Our moms are our biggest supporters, but we usually don’t tell them enough how much they’re appreciated. Around the country, people show affections either with special meals, flowers, candies, cards, handwritten letters, etc. Perhaps you might want to share some of these heartwarming messages.
