She helped you learn to read and tie your shoes. She brought you to your first baseball game and was always there to help you with your homework. She watched you graduate high school and she was always there with open arms and a home cooked meal when you came home from college. Whatever her name is, we all know her as mom. As Mother’s Day approaches, we all can reflect on how special these women are to us.
Time has no bearing on how we as a species have valued our mothers. Celebrations of motherhood trace back all the way to the Greeks and Romans however, the modern American Mother’s Day dates back to the 19th Century. During the 1860s, Ann Reeves Jarvis of West Virginia started Mother’s Day Work Clubs. These clubs helped teach local women how to more effectively care for their children. In 1868, Jarvis founded the Mother’s Friendship Day to encourage mothers to promote reconciliation among former Union and Confederate soldiers.
The celebration of motherhood has come a long way since the 19th Century. Today’s society has seen an influx of mothers that has brought with it an increase in sales of custom gifts.
