Reference:

"Mother's Day" is a poignant song written by Patrick L. Cartier, a parent of a 9/11 (the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States) victim. The song focuses on the grief of James Cartier's mother on Mother's Day, mourning the loss of her son. Patrick Cartier posted the lyrics on his website, where they were discovered by Kazusada Sumiyama, another individual who had lost a son at the World Trade Center. Sumiyama, deeply moved by Cartier's lyrics, composed a new song based on them.

The emotional song "Mother's Day" had its touching debut at the 9.11 Circle Wind Memorial Concert of that year. The Cocolo Japanese Gospel Choir and the Men's Glee Club of New York collaborated to perform the song, making it a highlight of the concert. Members from both families were present at this special moment, and the performance served as a heartfelt expression of love and remembrance for their lost loved ones. The debut of this song added a poignant and meaningful dimension to the concert, commemorating 9/11 and paying respects to the families of the victims.
