Our nephew is a high school senior this year and we're mourning all the 'lasts' that he will miss during quarantine: the graduation open house, senior prom, athletic team events.
Another milestone is the upcoming christening of our first grandchild, which will be limited to two parents, two godparents and four grandparents. Our family's hand-sewn christening gown has been worn by generations of infants, but never for such a small gathering.
Today we carefully unpacked the slip and gown, fastened all the tiny buttons and snaps. It fits. The traditional gathering of family and friends will be held at some unspecified time --when it is again safe to pass babies from lap to lap and hug friends.
