Mom zoom meeting2/17/2023 I kept thinking over and over and over that I can’t wait any longer until this pandemic is over with so I could finally embrace the people I love in person. It was just another reminder of the current situation we were in.Īnd it stung every time I hit the call button. So it was strange to have to do it all while 300 miles separated us. We shared every exciting experience in person. But then I do, because it’s even more depressing not to. Some days I’d wake up overwhelmed with sorrow and think how I really don’t want to call anyone anymore, because it’s too hard to see my mom who is just ‘out of reach’ on my iPad. Such an odd mix of feelings- excitement to see people, joyous to share our baby over zoom, sadness to not be in person, heart ache that they couldn’t be ‘here’ to play and hold their grandson. On the weekends, I’d sit down with my little guy and call our parents over zoom. I think it was both these simultaneous emotions that I could relate to the most that year. It’s difficult to pinpoint an exact emotion for me, as 2020 also brought more elation than I could have ever dreamed of having the birth of our son. Gone was a sense of community, something that human nature needed to thrive. Gone were the days of in person social interaction. It robbed us from what normalcy we clinged to. It left us all feeling dazed, scared, sad, and confused. The severity of the virus which shut down our world as a whole. There were so many mixed emotions that made up that year. I kidded over and over that this app in particular was behind the whole pandemic in order to kickstart their business. 2020, sponsored by Zoom! ‘Why see people when you don’t have to?’
