A Day to Celebrate

Talina Turner Managing Editor

Each May, a Sunday is set aside to appreciate the women called Mother.

Many celebrate Mother’s Day by purchasing flowers, jewelry, candy or some sort of gift. Some may simply send a card. For some moms, a simple hug and a thank you will suffice.

Many women are celebrated on Mother’s Day. They may be grandmothers, mothers, first-time mothers, aunts or wives. No matter what the title, many are appreciated for everything they do to care for their children.

Mother’s day was first declared a national holiday in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson. The day was for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died while at war. Nine years later, the commercialization of the holiday began.

According to Wikipedia, Mother’s day has become a commercially successful U.S. occasion. And why wouldn’t it be? Who can resist saying thank you to the woman who kissed boo-boos, scared away the monster under the bed or was simply there for a hug when a day wasn’t going well?

This Mother’s Day, remember to give mom a hug and say thanks, send flowers or just give her a call. She’ll appreciate it.
