I am a lawyer turned preschool teacher to my child at home. This week was the first time I felt like a real teacher. I was excited to do a lesson plan about apples with my four year old. Instead of being depressed about all that she was missing out on, I felt grateful to be able to teach her, to watch her learn, and spend quality time with her. I am able to do things with her that I would not have time to if I was working. If only I could be paid for this work too.

The week was another year... Each day feels longer than years and the news makes those years become wishes - wishes for this all to have passed. Vaccines available, people’s health an actual priority, politicians who know what our country needs, change occurring daily with thoughts and ideas shared between unlikely groups, safety felt when walking down the street, children in school, jobs filled and hope for every color on everyone’s doorstep.
