While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries which all celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.

Cherish your Mother or her memory.

A repeated Happy Birthday to Christan Rapp who informed me that she was actually born on Mother’s Day.
