Six months ago yesterday was my mom's 70th birthday. It's a good thing my sisters and I took her out to a concert at the Philarmonic as an early birthday present, because on the day itself we didn't celebrate. We were surrounded by family and friends, but at my dad's funeral... 💔😢 Definitely not good times... but we were still trying to look forward to something, and we decided that 70 deserved to be celebrated, so we'd just celebrate 70 1/2 and postpone the party to 6 months later! (today instead of yesterday because Saturday).
But it's kind of hard to throw a party when not only are gatherings not allowed, but everyone is stuck at home, and two of the main organizers are in different countries (Sweden & UK).
At this point, between quarantine regulations and most of the potential guests being "at risk population" for the virus, who knows how long we'll have to wait... 🤔
So many celebratory events on hold... a friend of mine has her wedding here at the end of September, and she's already talking about postponing it since she's not sure non-EU guests will be able to come from overseas (including her mom!).
