Mothers Day / May 14th

Remember folks! The person that gave you birth, fixed your wounds, changed their schedules to meet your needs.
...and don't forget the mother of your children!:D

Give that special lady a hug on Sunday!:thumbsup:

I thought mothers day was the same all over the world didn't know it was a different date in the US.

Mother's Day will be celebrated on Sunday May 14, 2006 (in the U.S.). In the UK Mothering Sunday is celebrated on the 26th of March, 2006.



The Story of Mother's Day

The earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday". Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter*), "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England.

During this time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.

Aww :)

M - O - T - H - E - R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.:D

AWWWW! :)

Don't forget people!!:D

Sadly.. i've never celebrated or taken part in this "holiday"... But i love my mother everyday i live.. so..

Happy Mother's Day, Moms.

You scared me there Psycho was panicking about what to do for Mothers Day till I remembered how we'd already had it.

Mother, you had me but I never had you,
I wanted you but you didn't want me,
So I got to tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
