Southern New Jersey Overlook

Wishing all of the mothers out there a great Mother's Day!  As a son and husband I really appreciate the love, nurturing, sharing, stability and wisdom that my wife and mother have always shown and imparted to their children.

Did You Know?  The first Mother's Day observance was a church service in 1908 requested by Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, to honor her deceased mother. Jarvis, at an early age, had heard her mother express hope that a day to commemorate all mothers would be established. Her mother had also expressed the sentiment that there were many days dedicated to men but none to mothers. Two years after her mother's death, Jarvis and friends began a letter-writing campaign to declare a national Mother's Day observance to honor mothers. In 1914, Congress passed legislation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
