If anything, I was starting to feel a sense of relief for the first time in 10 months — relief that in several weeks, her life could start to get back to something that looks a little more like normal. Between her utter fear of the virus and two hip surgeries, she has barely left her home the entire pandemic. Hospitals, medical appointments and the occasional visit to my house have been her only outings. At this point, a trip to the grocery store would feel like a luxury vacation.

One Step at a Time
I remember playing tag. It was the thing to do at recess in the fourth grade, but I hated it. Each time we played I would silently pray that I wasn’t chosen to be it, because then no one would be caught unless someone volunteered to get tagged by me so they could go and chase other people around. And if I wasn’t it, my only viable strategy would be to hide, at least until someone who was it found me. There would be no escape then—I could only surrender.
