My best friend's daughter just had her 13th birthday back in mid-April, they had been planning a huge pool party for her and her classmates for months.
They ended up doing the "drive by" for her and she said it was the best birthday she's ever had.

My oldest had the lead role in the school musical production of Matilda, which was cancelled due to C-19. She worked very hard to score the role, which is a huge deal here in Hollywood because nearly every parent works in the entertainment business in some capacity. So she not only missed out on the opportunity to perform after months and months of hard work, she missed the opportunity to further her acting and singing ambitions. Now, we'll need to wait at least a year for another opportunity and who knows if she'll get the lead role next year?
Also, she had her 12th birthday the first week of April and she was very, very sad. I made shimp and a filet mignon for her birthday dinner while my wife set up Zoom Birthday Chats with her friends. But it still wasn't the same as going to Disneyland and having a sleepover. I realize that she's no different than any other kid dealing with this but that didn't make the day any better for her.
