Today was Meg's birthday. Nice and relaxing. We discovered a new Dim Sum restaurant. Our old favorite was closed for salmonella outbreak and went out of business. We were completely dim-sum-less until now.
Meg looked radiant today. It wasn't a festive occasion, everything was very casual, but there was a glow about her which mostly showed in her eyes. She seemed happy and content. Thanks to Facebook, which she updated often through the day, many friends sent her best wishes. Many, but no one from the family. In the evening that caused a wave of sadness to cloud those shiny eyes and turn them into lakes. But then, a little miracle happened. Just as the lakes were about to overflow, another message came on Facebook, from one of the brothers. And with a sigh, the spark was restored to the eyes and the smile returned to her face.
