Perspective is a funny thing. A year ago, when the pandemic hit and we were told schools would close for 2 weeks, I panicked, thinking 2 weeks was forever. I never imagined Olivia would miss her entire senior year, spending it online in her bedroom on her laptop. Or that Mateo, who’s a sophomore, would have attended fewer in-person high school days than he has remotely.
But those are the facts.
Now I just heard the kids and I should be able to get vaccinated by late July. “Late July?!” I almost screamed. “That’s only 5 months away!!!”
