In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made Mother's Day a National Holiday. In the past Mother's Day was meant to remember mothers who have passed away, but through the years it has evolved and now encompasses all mothers or those who play the role of a mother such as aunts and grandmothers. Mother's Day is celebrated differently in other countries but the main reason for this special day is to honor and give thanks to our beloved mothers.
