Mine was my mother’s birthday earlier this month which coincidentally was the day of her retirement, my brothers and I asked her so many personal and hilarious questions, made a cake for her, took pictures, drank and just had a lot of fun!
She was so happy she thanked us over and over and over with those smiles that said: “I’m proud of you all.”

I had two kittens born April 7. Mom is black; so are they. Mom doesn't go out. Where dad came from is a mystery: I have NO un-neutered males in the house! (Hes a long-haired black cat, who disappeared after the deed was done.) The kittens are (unofficially) Tweedledum and Tweedledumber, at least till they grow out of it. You can't be bored with them in the house!

Being able to split my teaching time and give my first grade students individual Zoom time. I was able to concentrate on their individual learning needs. The best part about our Zoom meetings were the things they chose to share with me during their time at home. One student’s parents ordered a trampoline and he was so excited to show me. Another found tadpoles and I got daily tadpole updates. Another started painting rocks with his sister and they both showed my their art work. There were so many little things they would share and all those little things made me feel even more connected to them than had we remained in the classroom.

The realization that our elderly dogs' quality of life is actually better since we are all working from home and their "treat frequency" is noticeably up. There IS a silver lining to this dark cloud!

The beginning of lockdown. Meaning the end of having to go out or make up some lame excuse to get out of some social thing or other. I'm bit of an introvert, I guess.

Saying goodbye to 8th grade. It's been a harsh year in school and I'm glad it's over.
But now that I've thought about it, the coming years will be harder....

My girlfriend and I live in different countries, and it's not always easy for us to see each other. She was staying at my place when the lockdown began. She got trapped with me. Instead of spending three weeks together, we ended up having a whole three months. We were so happy!

I have 3 best moments. One is doing my son a firetruck birthday cake that he absolutely LOVED. I went to an isolation retreat with a friend for a night and had an incredible time and lastly, I made my mum's birthday cake last weekend and made her such an amazing present. She told me in private that it is the best present she has ever, EVER received and it even made her cry. I was super happy with how it turned out.

Most nights, we now get to eat dinner with our 17yo daughter. She will hang with us for an hour or 2 after. Occasionally we even watch some TV. Nice to get to know the kid again. I feel like I had not seen her in 2 or 3 years.

I received a small birthday cake during COVID. It was a great surprise, no party we could not meet. Only phone greetings. But I appreciated that moment. So happy for you, it seems that birthdays have had a big impact on many people during these difficult moments.
