Mother’s Day honors the woman or women in your life who have been there for you in your lifetime. A Mother can be biological, adopted, or even just a close friend. In the United States, the idea of Mother’s Day was created by a lady named Julia Ward Howe. Howe wrote the Mother’s Day Proclamation which was a plea for the Civil War to be put to an end in the name of a Moth- er’s Day for Peace. Unfortunately, the idea was never oficially recognized. In the late 1850’s, Anna Jarvis promoted the idea of a Mother’s Day of Work to help improve sanitation conditions for American soldiers in military hospitals. President Woodrow Wilson declared the irst oficial Mother’s Day in 1914. Many Nations followed suit, and Mother’s Day, as we know it today, was born. The most popular Mother’s Day gift in the United States is roses. A simple handmade card, or even a special moment that you take to tell your Mother you love her, would make her day special.
