Mother’s Day has become a long and rich tradition for families everywhere. The American version of Mother’s Day turns 100 years old in 2014. While the concept of Mother’s Day is even older, President Woodrow Wilson officially declared that every second Sunday in May would be nationally celebrated as Mother’s Day on the eighth of May in 1914. The Mother of Mother’s Day, social worker and activist Anna Jarvis, had been working since 1905 to try to get mothers the national recognition that they deserve. She would no doubt be proud to see the tradition continuing today. This year it is May 11, 2014.
