Happy Mothers Day to everyone in the world, in all countries that are celebrating Mother Day today. In the social distance climate, for some its the norm to be alone on Mothers Day especially those far from their children, but for those that normally celebrate with a great lunch gathering, today will be difficult. I am one of the latter, as my children always join the family in a super lunch or a picnic out before the winter arrives. Today I have started with my virtual celebrations and some social distance hugging, and still, I miss the human touch. Share what you are doing this LOCKDOWN Mother's day, as we all have something in common - Social distancing till Covid has been overcome. Be safe and much love to you all. remember to call your mother

Happy Mother's Day to you Lany. We are doing nothing at all, both our mothers are no more, we do not celebrate this day anymore.

We usually celebrate Mother's Day in a restaurant every year. But not this year. It still turns out to be fun for us since I have my kids with me at home anyway. Happy Mother's Day to you!

Thanks for the good wishes. Nothing can really replace a 'real' hug but we have to make the best of it for the moment. A Happy Mother's Day to you too.
