When 23h59, 31 December 2020 rolled around,
we all got to heave a huge sigh of relief as we bid a not-so-fond farewell to
the year our lives changed forever.
Its over! We celebrated. Without family or
friends, because, you know, COVID. Its all going to be so different next year! We
laughed and felt overjoyed. Before 10, and sober. Because, you know, COVID.
And then…. 2021 came a knocking. With wave
after wave. Loss after loss. Small businesses shut shop. Big businesses closed
their doors. Mothers, fathers, frie4nds, sisters, brothers, took their last
breath and had to be buried. Remotely. With no time or space for grieving. No comforting
those they left behind. Because, you know, COVID.
Families were torn apart with borders being
shut with no notice or warning. Some still having not been able to see their
missing people nearly two years later. Nurses and doctors have sacrificed their
mental health, their relationships, and often their lives in the scramble to
help those infected.
I would say for me, the obstacle I overcame,
WAS this year. it tried to knock us all down, but we have overcome and survived
100% of the days it has thrown at us. I am so grateful for all who have kept me
company this year, and reminded me to keep getting up.
Now can we all sneak quietly into 2022 and
not make any sudden movements please! Be blessed
