We can all say a big thank you to our mums on mother's day. Over the years I have sent many bouquets to my mother. Did you know that this special anniversary has been officially recognised since May 10th 1908. The woman who had this day dedicated to her was known as Anne Jarvis. Anne was born in 1832 in Virginia, USA. Married at 20 it is believed that she had as many as 12 children, most of whom did not live into adulthood. Diseases such as, diphtheria, scarlet fever and whooping cough claimed the lives of most of her children.
