Sadness and Happiness

My mother passed away on March 6, 2020.
It certainly was a sad day where I grieved for
over two months during the Pandemic. For
most people covid-19 was something they
lived with on a daily basis as for me I didn't
think much about it to be honest.

I did the social distancing and where the mask

along with getting the vaccine shot. I know 

there will be some who think I was crazy to

take the shot while others good for you. I 

have cousins and a sister in Canada knowing

they would require having the vaccine for

anyone entering the country. Though Canada

is allowing people who have been fully

vaccine to enter the United States does not

for a month anyway. It will be interesting to

see what happens.

Last Sunday my mother's church had their

first service since her funeral on March 12

2020. The church was remodeled during 

the time as well. In their program along 

with mentioning during the service they

had all those who had died during the 

Pandemic whether related or not. My

mother's name was mentioned first.

Now we come today Thursday July 22

2021. The family decided to wait to

have our mother's ashes in an urn to

be put next to our father's. I haven't

seen either my sister or brother since

March 2020. We have had monthly

zoom meetings though and have 

another planned for tomorrow. Anyway

today going to have my mother put

next to my father today. Unfortunately

with covid my sister and brother can't

be here. This is where sadness and

happiness come together.
