17 Best “Happy Birthday and Happy Mother’s Day” Messages
April Marcom
Celebrating mothers can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans.[1]
The roots of Mother’s Day in the United States date back to the nineteenth century as “Mothers’ Friendship Day.”
However, it wasn’t officially recognized until 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson signed the document to make the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day.[1]
Today, this is a holiday anticipated and cherished by mothers everywhere.
But what about the mothers whose birthday falls so close to Mother’s Day that one or the other occasion is forgotten?
