As the pandemic persists, more people are searching for creative ways to make moms feel special — from a safe distance.

Treats made and delivered by neighbors. Fresh garden plantings dug from a safe 6 feet away. Trips around the world set up room-to-room at home.

Mother's Day this year is a mix of love and extra imagination as families do without their usual brunches and huggy meet-ups.

As the pandemic persists in keeping families indoors or a safe social distance apart, online searches have increased for creative ways to still make moms feel special.

Absent help from schools and babysitters, uninitiated dads are on homemade craft duty with the kids. Other loved ones are navigating around no-visitor rules at hospitals and senior-living facilities.

Some medical facilities are pitching in by collecting voice and video recordings from locked-out relatives when patients are unable to manage the technology on their own.

1. Since Gov. Abbott is pushing Texas to open up,

I predict Mother’s Day is the event that will cause a lot of people to end their social distancing and kick off a whole new round of infections.

3. We passed on the card.

My husband asked me if I wanted a card because there were lots of people at the card display picking up cards and putting them back in the display.

I said no. I got a balloon instead.

Yes, we wiped down the balloon.
