How We Celebrated Mom's 85th Birthday During the Stay Home Order
On Sunday, May 10, 2020, not only was it Mother’s Day, but it was also my mom's 85th birthday. Given the stay at home orders from our governor and mayor, I thought maybe we could Zoom a birthday wish to my mom. But my sister Steph thought the day was so significant that we should be at my mom’s side on this special day. We all agreed.
None of had been sick, all of us have “essential” jobs and have been working throughout the “pandemic.” Some of us have been tested and all of us have taken COVID 19 precautions daily. We gathered with my mom, no masks, we ate cake, sang happy birthday, and spent a beautiful afternoon together.
I refuse to let this pandemic stand in the way of family.
