Life Before Coronavirus

It’s almost to easy to remember what I planned on doing last year. The new activities I was going to do with my son and the fun we would get to have as a family. Life doesn’t tell you when anything bad is about to happen, and when It does…it’s also to easy to jump to Z on how bad it’s about to get. Well 2020 certainly hit us all where it hurts…I’m almost to afraid to jump to Z especially now that there have been major changes since the last year. But is it enough?

So many losing jobs, family members, friends, and basically everything right now. I can’t help but wonder how serious the people making decisions for the United States are taking the hardships of people. It’s hard enough to lose people we love but to lose your job right after that. Depression is clearly around the corner for the majority not the minority.

It means we need to remember how it was, so we can remember how good it can and will be again.

So again I repeat…we need to remember. Memories bring joy, and joy is achievable again. The light is actually here now. 

This country has gone through it before and so has the world. We preserved! The worry that plagues me now, the vaccine is here but will it stop the spread? The mutations are stronger and more contagious, will it cause the virus to be worse than 2020 was? I know there isn't any true answers right now so instead I will take my own advice and remember what was, so I can accept what will be again.

I look at my Son and now my daughter and I see the beauty of what the future can be. The zoo seemed like a great place to visit before and now I just miss those stinking cute animals! And for the first time, in a while. I know we can go back and see them soon.
