## Resource

Ahead of Mother’s Day, we open the phone lines to hear what the holiday means to you. It can be a celebration, or more complicated. Or, just an excuse to get brunch. How do you make time to connect with the women in your life? Then, The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols on the U.S. attempted oil blockade in Iran. And violinist and disability advocate Gaelynn Lea performs for Live Music Friday. NBC10 Boston's Sue O’Connell delivers the real news from the Met Gala, and discusses how Lowell residents are the first to put up a battle against data centers.
