This year has been a very long, dark, and hectic year. We entered 2020 not knowing we were going to enter a dark cloud period. Months later, we are still suffering through the Covid-19 Pandemic. Watching the news and hearing these tragedies made me glue closer to my family members. Over time, I became even more grateful for my family. During this year, I have unfortunately lost two family members due to the Corona Virus. It is heartbreaking to hear the tragic news from your family. Although over time, I have become a more self-aware person. I have become more appreciative and thankful to all the wonderful people that are involved in my life. I began hanging out with my family members more and appreciating every single moment with them. Being apart of the Quareenteen program has benefited me. I have become even more appreciative of our senior citizens. I enjoy every second of writing the letters to the senior citizens, it makes my heart feel warm and happy. I have developed a passion and enjoyment for writing. Quaranteen Pals will positively impact senior citizens by sending them letters of encouragement, love, warmth, and wishes. I cannot wait to write again to the seniors in the month of December. I truly believe these letters will make the dark cloud go away in our lives. Stay safe and hug your loved ones.
