The official Mother’s Day Holiday arose in the 1900s as a result of the efforts of Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. Following her mother’s death in 1905, Anna conceived of Mother’s Day as a way to honor her mother. This was her way of showing the world all the Sacrifices mothers make for their children. There is an old saying “A mother is your mother for the rest of your life. We sometimes forget just how much they have taught us.
