Who better to tell you about the history of Mother's Day but Hallmark? Well, maybe these sites, too:
- http://www.history.com/topics/holidays/mothers-day
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Day
- http://www.mothersdaycelebration.com/mothers-day-history.html
And not to be a Debbie Downer, but...
"Before the brunches, before the gifts and greeting cards, Mother's Day was a time for mourning women to remember fallen soldiers and work for peace." -- Mother's Day's Dark History
