It's a "Momsie Thing"

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

It's a special day for every woman in the world. We celebrate Mother's Day in gratitude of a mother's love and sacrifice. This special day is originally held every 2nd Sunday of May every year.

Greeks are known to be the first to observe Mother's Day since they see this day as an honor of Rhea the wife of Cornus in Greek mythology.

Nowadays, Mother's Day is celebrated globally. This is the day where people take the time and the chance to thank and appreciate their moms, who loved and took care of them. It is a day to distinguish and regard the mother- the woman has dedicated her life and career and someone who is willing to give up everything just to see her children happy.

There are many known ways to celebrate Mother's Day. Some treat the whole family to dinner. Some moms give time for them or break free from their daily routine by doing the stuffs that they love to do. It's also a flower giving day where kids and husbands show regards to their moms or partners by giving them flowers Some children help in cleaning the house and taking care of their younger siblings on Mother's Day. Once in a year moms feel special and they can do anything that pleases them.

Mother's Day isn't always for mothers; it's also for the women out there who are making a difference. To be a mother doesn't always mean you have to conceive. Mother's Day is a day to salute all the women out there. May they be solitary or wedded; every woman is entitled to have fun this day.
