Things that make you go Hmmmmm
This coming Sunday is Mother’s Day.
The original Mother’s Day proclamation was penned in 1870 by Julia Ward Howe, the renowned author of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. The holiday began as a bold cry by mothers for all mothers to rise up against war following the carnage of the U.S. Civil War. It began with, “Arise then, women of this day! Our husbands shall not come to us reeking of carnage for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and Patience.”
Interesting.
