A year of pandemic gave me…
A return of my children’s infant faces
An appreciation (for what? things too numerous to list)
A new kind of despair
A pause
A last year where they still hold my hand in public. No school means no one to tell them it’s weird or just not done
An entire new collection of books
A string of late night movie and TV show parties with friends
A resurgence of contact with friends I hadn’t talked to in too long
A vaccination
