How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

Here it is Spring again, and for the second year I am watching my garden develop in much the manner it did a year ago, which brings the fact of a whole cycle of seasons gone by without family contact into finer focus. This is the hardest part of the pandemic for me - loss of family. This past week I got my second vaccine, which I feel fortunate to have received - freed, in a way, to not fear the virus for my own health so much, and it also makes me more nervous that my kids haven't yet been vaccinated, which is almost a role-reversal - parents should be able to look out for their kids' health and safety above all else, but this time I have no control over it. I hope their turn comes soon.
