Dear Inspire Literary Group Community,
Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers among us!
Today, we celebrate the beautiful and profound role that mothers play in our lives.
Mother's Day is a time to honor and cherish the nurturing love, wisdom, and strength that mothers selflessly provide each day.
The Origin of Mother's Day
Did you know that the modern celebration of Mother's Day has a fascinating history? It all began with a remarkable woman named Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her own mother's dedication to caring for wounded soldiers during the Civil War. After her mother's passing, Anna campaigned tirelessly for a day to honor all mothers. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day—a day to recognize and celebrate the unconditional love of mothers everywhere.
