I took this photograph two days ago in Terminal 4 of JFK. We were on our way to Mexico for work, traveling again for the first time in a year. We're incredibly lucky to be fully vaccinated so feel comfortable traveling but of course, everything is different. The airport was so much quieter than usual, most stores aren't open and as I walked past this lounge I saw a squirrel inside. I did a double take, thinking for sure that it wasn't real but then it started moving. Poor thing was so skinny and was clearly looking for food but with the lounge being closed there was nothing for it to eat. Who knows how long it's been surviving inside the lounge or how much longer it could survive there. I told an airport worker about it but I'm not sure there was anything anyone could do for it. It reminded me of the "nature is healing / we are the virus" meme that was going around in the the early days of the pandemic but without the levity.

M R are the Initials of my uncle.. we lost him due to corona virus. His absence is loud. He left us his beautiful little kids. To always look out for. I miss you everyday. So does the kids and my mom. The last time I saw you was on my birthday.. You came to give me a birthday hug and apologize for not bringing a gift. I told you all I want is for you to take good care of your self. After that I didn’t didn’t know much about you. Till I found out you were in the hospital. Then got the call that you passed away. I didn’t believe it much and had hope you were still here and that the doctors made a identification mistake. But then the day came when I saw your coffin. I was the first one to give you a rose when they set you down in the ground. I was also the first one to let the white balloon go as we all say goodbye. I love you and will always remember you. Rest in Eternal Peace tio.
