    My Favorite Redhead is having a very hard time this Mothers' Day weekend because she cannot see her mother in assisted living and fears she may not be here next year. For us this is the worst part of the whole ordeal.

      That's got to be very hard for your bride. A phone call isn't the same. Any chance for a Skype call?

        Oh yeah, we do that almost every day. But it's not the same.

          @brenda kudos to your husband and happy early Mother’s Day to you!

          Tomorrow I’ll be making some cinnamon rolls and bacon, and for dinner will be Longhorn Steakhouse curbside pickup.

            Can she wave and make eye contact through a window? Might be better than nothing.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              I hear you. It's terribly difficult not being able to see loved ones when they're ill or vulnerable.

              I was only joking

                I think Mother's Day should simply be postponed, like Tax Day has been.
                Just move it three months into the future, like Tax Day has been.

                  Incidentally, if your birthday also falls within the pandemic's lockdown calendar range, you should also have the option to postpone it too. I know it's hard to to delay incrementing your age, but in this very difficult time you'll just have to do it for the greater good.

                      Now you're talkin' some good ideas, Ax. I can get behind this one. I'm willing to sacrifice several years off my age, for the greater good and all that.

                        The Mother’s Day dilemma is polarizing the old folks. Half are avoiding being with loved ones and the other half are saying life is not worth living this way as they realize the clock is ticking anyway.

                        It’s almost a war in some communities and the pro-visit crowd is noting their friends in Florida for example are living their lives.
