COVID-19 cares not for the calendar and milestones, which means Clare turned 17 in the midst of a stay-at-home order and virtual schooling. This was, in essence, a big fat bummer.
Still, we celebrated. The Testanis sent beautiful flowers. Abby made a covert visit. There were gifts, cake, calls and cards from friends and family. It will never be her favorite birthday, but it will certainly be memorable.
She requested a cityscape for her birthday, reflecting her fascination with them - and looking ahead to a future that will include travel and adventure...eventually.
We love this girl so much, and I can’t complain about the extra time to be with her. A silver lining for this seventeenth birthday.
