Dear APPPAH Members and Non-Members,
One of the particular blessings of spring is Mother's Day. Most countries including the U.S., Australia, Canada and India celebrate Mother's Day. In the U.S. this year, it falls on May 8, coincidentally the same day Mother's Day was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. Since then people across the world have been celebrating Mother's Day with joy and devotion. More than half of APPPAH's members are mothers, not only of their own children, but also in blended families as stepmothers, foster mothers, adoptive mothers, or as single mothers. On behalf of APPPAH, I honor and thank mothers everywhere for the gift of life and nurture that they provide. Without them we would not exist, nor would we thrive!
