Briana's Birthday
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.
