This is not just a holiday for cards and chocolates .It is a day with a powerful- and bit sad- history
We all love our mothers. They are our first teachers-for example ,like my teacher Elif- and best friends.But did you know that the founder of Mother’s Day,Anna Jarvis, actually spent the rest of her life trying to destroy this holiday?
Why did she regret it?
Anna wanted a day of quiet prayer and thinking about mothers.But companies started using it to make money.She said,” A printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world.”
Quick Facts For You
•Nature’s Mothers:In the animal kingdom some mothers sacrifice their lives for their lives for their babies. Motherhood is a universal miracle! (I read a book about it and it was fantastic,it’s name was -those weird mothers- )
•The Best Gift : Scientists say that the sound of a mother’s voice can lower a person’s stress level.So, maybe a long phone call is better than a gold necklace!
The greatest gift we can give our mothers is not temporary presents ,but strengthening and showing them our bond .Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers in advance 💖✨
