There have been many holidays and special occasions lost to fevers, colds, viruses, that mighty deterrent that has paralyzed us for nearly 3 years. If you are just turning 4, you were a baby when all this germ shut down began and you really cannot remember many inside family gatherings. You probably didn't even think it was an option to have even a small group singing to you for a January birthday!
I still have undelivered gifts from this year's holidays when I was confident I would gather with friends and loved ones. But, I did not gather with anyone again this year as as Christmas Eve, Christmas, and even New Year's Day again suspended due to fevers, colds, viruses, and Covid.
To be honest, it was a very last minute decision with a very small group to gather and sing, "Happy birthday to you!" this weekend. I'm confident the birthday girl was pleased to be he center of attention; however, my own wish, as she blew out that candle, was that our immune systems will all strengthen and allow us to gather many times with friends and family, inside and outside, this year.

Agreed Anita,
Live each day to the fullest!
It has been challenging these last several years to celebrate. Thanks for the reminder that what we may have taken for granted isn't even on the radar of our youngest humans.
