The changing of seasons isn't just about warmer weather, although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to stick my hooves in a fresh pair of flip flops. It's also a sign that Mother's Day is soon approaching. If you want to celebrate the special moms in your life but don't know exactly how to put your thoughts into words, consider these 36 texts to send all the other moms in your life on Mother's Day.
Per History.com, we can trace the celebration of motherhood back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who would honor the goddesses Rhea and Cybele with festivals. There's also the early Christian festival called Mothering Sunday.
Mother's Day as we know it, History.com explains, was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908. In 1914, it became an official U.S. holiday. However, Jarvis tried to put a stop to the holiday when she thought it'd become too commercialized, and ended up trying to get it removed from the calendar. Obviously, that didn't happen (and obviously, she was, well, correct).
These days, many of us honor the mothers in our lives with flowers and thoughtful cards, but you know what they say: "If you really love someone, just send them a text."
That's what they say, isn't it?
Anyway, here are 36 texts perfect for Mother's Day.
