What Orange 79 said. brian. This sucks for everyone. Not just you. I'm older. This is taking time I can't get back in my shorten life. As I have said to you earlier, other generations have been asked to sacrifice a lot more than this. tonight, you will be in your home watching tv. Think of what other generations have been asked to go through.
It's the worst part. The stories you don't see are the worst. We visit my 93 year old grandmother at the nursing home through a window . Husband's and wives are doing the same thing and maybe have days, months or then hours left and this is how they get to spend them.
As a country we really are not accustomed to having to sacrifice a lot unless you come from poverty. Having grown up without much I can say it does make it easier to cope and manage the reality and very minor sacrifice in comparison to past generations but it still sucks. I worry deeply about the second wave of sickness and struggle that comes financially. It's going to be deadly in its own way. Memories and trying to find moments of joy are really important right now.
