I am truly enjoying seeing on social media all of the post-vaccine reunions people are having with their loved ones. From seeing friends reunite with their elderly parents to friends reuniting, each picture brings a smile to my face.

My first post-vaccine reunion was with my long-time friends from high school. It was a surprise for my friend Mark for his 60^th birthday. The combination of surprise and happiness on his face when he saw me coupled with the strength of his hug almost made my heart burst.

This past weekend I finally spent time, up close, with my brother and sister. The last time we saw one another was outside in October for my husband’s 60^th birthday. We had held a small Covid appropriate gathering in my back yard with everyone at a safe distance. This time we were able to stand next to one another, hug, and hold one another close. This reunion made me cry.

Who have you reunited with?
