The Short List
 
Saturday, May 9

Happy Mother's Day weekend, Short List readers! We hope you're spending today, tomorrow and every day thanking the moms in your life.

In a beautiful long read, USA TODAY's Alia E. Dastagir writes a tribute to the joy, suffering and borrowed time that comes with being a mother during this pandemic:

"But for many mothers privileged enough to be free from harm at home with their children, the pandemic provides a chance to witness milestones that would otherwise have been missed. To be close and present in ways impossible when everyone is in motion. To heal and reconnect with older children we've reluctantly and necessarily let go their own way."

Read the full essay here, and share it with someone you love.
