I wonder was I alone as I cried today with joy over the impending passing of this truly horrific pandemic era we’ve all endured this past year and continue to live through. As my tears trickled down my face, the bright summer sunshine, late in its arrival, shone forth its warmth and hope.

I pondered how those who lost loved ones during the pandemic and couldn’t grieve with the normal funereal rituals would learn how to cope? I cried salty tears of cleansing saline, human brine, albeit knowing that things just won’t be fine for many.
