Have any milestones or major life events been disrupted by the pandemic, either in your life, or the lives of those close to you? If so, talk about this.

There are weddings we missed this year. We couldn't attend my husband's grandmother's funeral last month, which was really difficult. I missed a baby shower. We bought a new home together, but we couldn't hold an "open house" to celebrate with our friends, family, and new neighbors. We missed holidays with our families and numerous birthday celebrations. Today is my birthday and we're having family over to have dinner together and celebrate, without masks, with warm hugs, and laughter (and hopefully cake). I can't wait!! We have missed way too much together for fear of getting each other deathly ill. We have a lot to celebrate.
