Remember when your mother hummed a note or sang a lullaby to put you to sleep as an infant? Nothing was more precious than the voice of a mother to calm you down. Growing up, all of us learned about love from the one who gave us life.

In this day and age of quarantine, some of us may find ourselves far away from the presence of our beloved mothers. Those physical hugs and kisses she is longing for may have to wait for a while. Simple as a mom could be, warm her generous heart with a virtual embrace with the mother's day playlist of touching songs as your way of showing your love and gratefulness.
