Today is the anniversary of my mom’s birthday. Her fiftieth birthday party was one of the last birthdays we celebrated with her before she lost her battle to cancer. Seeing this picture makes me think about the awareness of the significance and meaning of quality time. Even though we were commemorating a milestone birthday, at this point we were all too aware that we didn’t truly know how much more time we still had with her. However, we continued to try to live our lives as normally as possible and to spend quality time together as we could.
In the past year of Covid, everyone has been forced to evaluate what constitutes a life of quality, and the significance of our interactions with others in our lives. We have to continously evaluate our own health and take extra precautions when around others. We are forced to consider whether spending time with our friends and family members now, is worth the risk of someone contracting the virus in a few days or weeks. We have had to reevaluate what constitutes spending quality time together as we transitioned to zoom meetings and waving from six feet away. Sadly, many of us have had to deal with the complicated feelings of suddenly losing friends and family members to the virus, while unable to hug or say goodbye in person.
Covid has also nudged us all to really think about the people in our lives and appreciate the significance of their presence to the quality of our lives. While we have each made an effort to refrain from large gatherings for safety reasons, we have also had the opportunity to find creative ways to stay in touch with those we love the most. Being apart longer than we have traditionally done so and not seeing each other during the holidays, has opened our eyes to how much happiness each person brings to our lives.
So on the memory of my mom’s birthday, I think of all the lessons I have learned from her love, her life and her passion to make the most of life with her friends and family. I also take a moment to reflect on the fact that this year, her own sister joined her in heaven and I hope maybe, they are spending the birthday together for the first time in fifteen years.

Words splattered on a page
Undirected characters on a stage
Scratched out notes littering the room
Strings of instruments out of tune
I try to coax them in to form
But those random lines won’t adjourn
Then letters dribble, at first a bit slow
Soon they quicken to a flow
Words soon spill, then gush
Like an avalanche’s mighty rush
My thoughts erupting out of my brain
There’s an energy I can’t contain

How can the heart contain this much love?
I feel my heart expanding against my ribs
But I feel like I will burst from restraint
Because my heart wants to grow
Even if there is not enough room
