MOTHER'S DAY


Mrs. Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the first to publicly propose a special day for Mothers in 1907.

She suggested the wearing of a carnation on the second Sunday of May.

The first national Mother's Day was observed on May 12, 1914.


A Tribute To Mom
Somewhere between the youthful energy of a teen-ager and the golden years of a woman's life, there lives a marvelous and loving person known as mother.
A mother is a curious mixture of patience, kindness, understanding, discipline, industriousness, purity and love.
A mother can be, at one and the same time, both a lovelorn counselor to a heartsick daughter, and a head football coach to the athletic son.
A mother can sew the tiniest stitch in the material for that dainty prom dress, and she is equally experienced in threading through the heaviest traffic with a utility vehicle.
A mother is the only creature on earth who can cry when she is happy, laugh when she is heartbroken, and work when she's feeling ill.
A mother is as gentle as a lamb and as strong as a giant. Only a mother can appear so weak and helpless and yet be the same one who put the fruit jar cover on so tight that even Dad can't get it off.
A mother is a picture of helplessness when Dad is near, and a marvel of resourcefulness when she's alone.
A mother has the angelic voice of a member in the celestial choir as she sings Brahm's Lullaby to a babe held tight in her arms, yet the same voice can dwarf the sound of an amplifier when she calls her boys in for dinner.
A mother has the fascinating ability to be almost everywhere at once and she alone can somehow squeeze an enormous amount of living into an average day.
A mother is old-fashioned to her teenager, just "Mom" to the third-grader, and simply "Mama" to little two-year-old sister.
But there is no greater thrill in life than to point to that wonderful woman and be able to say to all the world, "THAT'S MY MOTHER!"
