Your mother has always been so into making your birthdays really special. Even when things are tight. But this year, with COVID, its even tighter. No party, no going to the movies. She doesn't even have time to make you a cake. She feels awful, but you don't mind. What you're bummed about is your girlfriend. You haven't seen her in ages. And you're pent up about it. Of course, your mom can't help with that...can she?
