My first hug with Nanna since the pandemic started. There's just no substitute for the real thing!
I'm filled with gratitude to those who made this moment possible.
Thank you to the research scientists, trial vaccine participants, state officials, local healthcare staff and volunteers. Thank you to my community--my friends, family, neighbors and strangers--for social distancing, wearing face masks and modifying travel and gatherings.
Thank you to Nanna.
I'm really looking forward to celebrating your 100th birthday later this year....in person!
