Today is my first husband's 77th birthday. As we all get up into the higher number years, birthdays become special again -- who knows how many there are left.
Our first family Zoom birthday party was for our grandson's 15th. There were ... lots ... too many? ... little boxes on the screen. Coordinating a group of people to sing the birthday song can be difficult; doing it over Zoom is PAINFUL! Worst, hands down, bar none, worst rendition in the history of ever.
My daughters' step Mom wanted a family Zoom party for G-Dad's birthday but, we had to all promise -- no singing! So we had our semi-regular family Zoom cocktail party and, on the count of three, shouted "happy birthday". Much better than the singing.
There was a lot of discussion about hoping this would be the last "Covid Birthday" in the family. The next birthday, mine, is coming up in about a month and it would be great to have it in person.
One of my daughters families was missing their college student son so much, they got him a plane ticket home for the weekend. He said there were 20 people on the plane and 2 rows in front of him, 2 rows behind and 4 seats next to him, were all empty.
