Remembering 5 years ago today

5 years ago today, the world shut down because of COVID-19. While we still mourn what we lost, who we lost, and how things changed, I hope we also remember the compassion, care, community, and concern so many people exhibited for their neighbors. I hope we can remember those days now from where we are today, and say, “Look what we could do together.” I’m forever grateful to those on the frontlines who gave everything they had to do everything they could to protect all of us. We will never be able to thank them enough.
