Every time I talked to Meg today she was extremely happy. It was a beautiful day in Bloomington and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I was so glad for her. Meg's 19th birthday was very low key as lockdown had just started and we couldn't have anyone over to help celebrate. We did make the best of it with presents, a homemade cake and her favorite dinner, but it was a scary time in our lives and we weren't sure what was gone to happen with the pandemic. Thankfully, life did return to a new kind of normal for Meg which made this year's celebration even better. None of us thought that we would still be talking about coronavirus a year later, but at least this year Meg was able to be on her own again and to be with her friends for her birthday.
Meg also made plans to go to Purdue tomorrow to celebrate with Nick. He even offered to make her another homemade cake. We will be down Easter weekend and plan another celebration then as well. Since I couldn't be with her today, I decided to look through some photos from her graduation slide show. There were so many good ones and I posted a few on Facebook in honor of the day. Meg enjoyed them as well and could remember every moment from each of them. Although I really got a kick out of the one in which she was mad about getting pasta salad for Christmas, my favorite was one in which Doug was holding her at Grant's Farm. It was such a fun trip and the expressions on their faces reminded me of Jeanette. I wished she could have been her today to receive a phone call from her eldest granddaughter. I know that she would have been so proud of Meg, just as we all are.
