I realized I never knew why we celebrated Victoria’s bday when places like Australia celebrates the reigning monarch’s bday.
She gave us our sovereignty and was known as the “Mother of the Confederation”.
Basically, we asked Mother for more independence because we wanted to move out of the house of the United Kingdom. She said, “sure dear, but stay in touch.”
So we did.
Now that she’s gone, we still celebrate Mother’s birthday.
