As I noted in part 1 of this series, Spring, 2009, arguably marks the 100th anniversary of both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day—at least as we know them! Both began as grassroots movements initiated by daughters who wanted to honor their parents. Both holidays followed a zig-zag path to nation-wide acceptance. But 1909 was a [...]
