Mother's Day definitely has become too commercialized. Our family uses it as a day to get together without gifts. The real pleasure is being with your children and/or grandchildren. Jarvis was right to start Mother's Day, but I fully understand her being upset about the direction it took.<BR/><BR/>Jacqueline Seewald<BR/>THE INFERNO COLLECTION<BR/>Five Star/GaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820269536381910714.post-59308938766301302812008-05-16T15:00:00.000-05:002008-05-16T15:00:00.000-05:00What a beautiful story about the origins of Mother's Day. It was particularly touching because this was my first Mother's Day without my mother. I understand Anna Jarvis' frustration with the commercializatin of the day. When your mom is gone, you have no mother to send flowers to. The joy of the memories of her presence sustain you through that day and each day following. Just a lovely tribute. Thank you for sharing.Consuelohttp://www.nacwib.orgnoreply@blogger.com
