Quarantine Questions Part Two
We all have things we miss big and small. Right now I am pondering the thought that I won't be able to travel to Arizona to help support Zeena when the new baby comes. That I won't be there to hold her in my arms when she's barely an hour old, like I did with her sister Hayley. I am also quietly furious that virus numbers in Arizona are trending upward, that Zeena shares that more than half the people she sees outside don't even wear a mask. I am angry and frustrated and just want to somehow protect her and this new baby. Why and when did we become so cavalier about how we are a community and that we have a responsibility to each other. It is such a challenging and surreal time. I am actually looking at Disney masks to buy for Hayley when she turns two, because Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are her favorites now. When did it get to be so normal, to think about buying masks for a toddler's birthday present? Maybe I am too tired and it's too late to wrap my head around it all now. There's just so much we miss, big and small and priceless.
