In many countries in the world, the second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day was the idea of an American woman, Anna Jarvis. Anna’s mother wasn’t alive any more, and Anna wanted a special day to remember her mother. Her friends agreed. However, many people in The U.S weren’t happy about Anna’s idea. Some thought a national day of celebration is unnecessary. Anna and her friends wrote letters to important people. These people liked the idea. Finally, on 8th May, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day, a day of celebration in The United States.
