Today’s Briana’s birthday
So
we celebrated large.
Her
boyfriend and his mother,
For
this epic day, took charge.
We
hadn’t met in person
For
some fifteen months or more
Since
Covid, helped by distance,
Came
around and slammed the door.
We
drove for two plus hours
For
a meal in their back yard
And
this is what was waiting:
Pink
balloons, some clothes, a card…
An
Elvis photo in a frame,
A
CD and two mugs,
A
necklace with a heart, tiaras
And
some heartfelt hugs.
Brett
grilled some yummy burgers
While
his mom provided sides.
There
was music and a birthday cake
And
so much love besides.
What
a wonderful reunion
And
a way to celebrate
Both
a birthday and a taste of
Future
meetings that await.
*Briana
is my daughter. She and Brett met
at
a special needs camp over 20 years ago.
