Princesses on the run. For the first time in almost 2 years I boarded a plane and flew to Colorado to be part of my sister's surprise 70th birthday celebration. And, I met my second grand niece for the first time. She is 14 months old. Her sister is 4. This picture was taken a few months ago. The youngest has no idea that she was born during a pandemic. The oldest only knows that she has to wear a mask when she goes to pre-school. But, on this day the only thing that was important was running down the sidewalk in princess dresses. Fear not. The "driveway boundary" was observed and mom was watching closely.

While everyone is affected by COVID, the person in my life who has been most affected is my grandmother. She is 88 years old and lives in seniors' home. We are lucky that she is treated well but the isolation has made her really lonely I think it has negatively affected her physical health as well. Prior to the pandemic she was doing well health-wise and has really deteriorated recently. It makes me sad that I might not see her again, and she may well live the vast majority of the rest of her life alone. I think she's very depressed about it.
