A member of our congregation caught the virus and died, another took four months to recover, and everyone had a friend or relative who got very sick, or worse. Even the vaccinated rector got ill on a trip back East and had to delay his return.
Most of us survived the first wave, but our jobs, priorities, relationships, and attitudes toward life have been changed. I would say forever, but 9/11 supposedly did that too, and we need to be reminded that the 20th anniversary is coming up.
On the poster board have been affixed notes of gratitude, grief, regrets, and things lost and things found.
Some day we'll take the board down, but the story will never be finished.
