A day filled with hugs and kisses, laughter and love…that is my wish for all mothers. That it should be like that every day is my other wish!
Most of us have heard of Anna Jarvis, who is credited as the driving force behind the official establishment of Mother’s Day. She began in 1907 by distributing 500 white 
carnations to each of the mothers at her late mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia. The white carnation was symbolic of the purity of a mother’s love.
What I didn’t know was that the author of the poem that would become the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” also campaigned for a Mother’s Day of sorts. Julia Ward Howe envisioned A “Mother’s Day for Peace,” to be celebrated on June 2nd, honoring peace, motherhood and womanhood.
What I do know is that Carolann is truly a gift from God. It’s an honor and a privilege to be her mom, so for me, every day is Mother’s Day.
Now I have to clean where the cat threw up.
Happy Mother’s Day and, as always, thanks for listening:)
