Mother’s Day is coming up quickly, but the shadow of COVID-19 threatens to turn this day of celebration into a lonely time for many. Too many moms won’t be able to celebrate with their family like they usually do. And many of the traditional ways families celebrates Mother’s Day are simply not an option this year.
