It’s a digital age where kids speak in memes, live online, and often leave parents trying to keep pace. But amidst all the change, one thing remains constant: the love between a mother and her child. In McDonald’s latest Mother’s Day film, we celebrate the simple, heartwarming moments that bring them together — reminding us that while trends may come and go, a mother’s love never goes out of style.
