However, by 1911, all 50 of the United States were observing this holiday. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation making the second Sunday in May a “national holiday to honor mothers.”

This is the day in which we remember our mothers, both our biological mothers and those that have served as a mother figure in our lives.
