The Virtual Baby Shower!

Amy is expecting and so today some friends of hers had a virtual baby shower for her, using Zoom!  It was an absolutely amazing event and for some reasons, surpassed what would have been, when not in a time of Covid, a physical gathering.  There will be two virtual baby showers - this one was made up of "work" people.  There were about 35 people present, from New York and California and Maine and Paris, France! Most everyone who attended had worked with Amy at Glamour magazine twenty years ago, and most had not seen each other since then!  The host was amazing and she had prepared some questions for everyone to answer - the first one was "What is the one word you would use to describe Amy?"  The second topic involved telling stories about Amy, and the last question was about advice for a new mother.  What was beautiful and overwhelming, and wonderful was the love for Amy that everyone expressed, and the stories of support they received from Amy when her friends were going through difficult times.  It was such a beautiful moment and so powerful, that not only was Amy moved to tears, but I was choked up hearing these tributes as well.  It was an amazing afternoon, and I will be forever thankful that Kathy and I were there for all of this.
