The COVID-19 Quarantine has brought almost everything to a halt. While life is no longer the same, one thing that hasn’t changed is “A Mother’s love.” Among all the adversities, a mother’s presence gives the confidence that at the end of the day, everything will fall back in place.
Mothers hold a very special place in our lives. We owe our existence to them as they are the ones who help us see the light of the day. A mother is an indispensable part of everyone’s life and deserves all the love and appreciation. While the world is fighting with this once-in-a-century pandemic, the lockdown hasn’t hampered brands from running out various campaigns to celebrate Mother’s Day 2020.
