I’ve been really *not okay* lately and I think it’s because I’m heading into my 4-year pandemic anniversary. For my fam, 3/13 the schools closed. I was already isolating because I’m immunocompromised. The school closure brought relief—my high school senior attending class felt like a huge risk.
I felt safer but my high school senior was miserable. Her friends and their parents mostly ignored the mandates to stay home. They gathered as before. My sense of safety came at great cost to my girl. We found compromises but it was hard for her. I still feel so sad about her lost senior year.
