Who Are Mothers?
The dictionary describes a mother as a female who gives birth to a child or a female who rears a child with love and affection. I would go further by adding that a mother is also a female protector and a friend. I’m sure many people will agree that the descriptions are befitting for any female who unconditionally loves and cares for a child. Mothers are dependable and the majority will continue to support their children in some way even when they reach adulthood. Mother’s Day – Thank You For Love!
Bit of Mothers Day History
Mothers Day celebration began in the 1900 by Anna Jarvis who started a campaign to celebrate mothers and motherhood. Julia Ward Howe was another activist who wrote a “Mothers Day Proclamation” calling on mothers to support world peace. The events came to the attention of President Woodrow Wilson who later made the day an official holiday in 1914.
While these women were instrumental in leading the celebration of Mothers Day in America, the celebration started much earlier in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece with the worshiping of deity such as the Egyptian Goddess Isis and the Grecian Goddess Rhea. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated worldwide and is evidence of the enormous impact of the work done by Jarvis and Howe. Ironically, Jarvis remained single and childless, demonstrating that motherhood can be claimed by any woman who cares for children and not just those who bear children.
Celebrate Mother’s Day
Let’s honor all of the wonderful women in our lives who helped us in getting to where we are today. Many of us would not have the life we have today, if it weren’t for our mothers! We celebrate the many women who, on their own, raised great individuals to become change makers of the future, for example the 44th President of the United States.
We remember our mothers, as well as the many other women who quietly enriched our lives without revealing their presence. You, dear mothers, gave us the gift of life and taught us how to carefully unwrap our gift inorder to live our best lives. So, on this Mother’s Day, thank you for love!
