Can hardly believe we are almost to the end of 2020!
A year that seemingly started out for most of us with great hope,
only to turn into what has felt the LONGEST YEAR ever!
This year has looked and felt so different than other years.
Covid has certainly touched our lives in more ways that we care to count.
And with people being so selfish, I don't see how one can be hopeful
that there could ever be an end to this.
Our holidays were quieter. Smaller.
We opted not to gather for Thanksgiving.
And Christmas was definitely off the table.
Especially after someone near and dear to the fam lost her own
mother to this wretched virus. That was the seal of fate for our
decision.
I think this year has left me shocked and speechless more than I can
ever remember. With peoples attitudes, the virus, politics.
The ugly really came out in people.
I've sat and wondered what my Babci would have thought about it all.
The country she loved so much and fought so hard to return to. The
country she wanted her boys to grow up in, live in, and love. They didn't
get to grow up here, but they did live here. Love it? I honestly don't know.
But I can almost certainly say that this is not the place she called home.
This is not the country she loved so dearly. I'm not sure she would
recognize it now. I know I don't!
Here's hoping though, that 2021 will be a better year for all of us.
