I hope you and your family are doing well. It’s been an interesting year so far. The time has flown by and yet it seemed to stand still for several weeks. Here we are, almost in July. My son Benjamin celebrated his 8th Birthday the other day. We spoke with a lot of relatives we rarely see and others we see more often. The theme that I felt from the number of calls we had was a great sense of love for my son and for our family.
This year has brought us to tears and has also put smiles on our faces. We have had some highs, spending more time together as a family, and some lows, spending too much time together as a family. In retrospect, it has been a wonderful first half of the year. The time we have spent together as a family has been good for us, connecting us better with one another. I have certainly enjoyed being on mute for some morning Zoom calls while playing a few games of Uno with Benjamin. These are moments that would never have happened without being “quarantined”.
As we head into the summer months, I hope you and your family are able to make some memories by taking a trip, stay-cation, or playing games at home. Enjoy every moment for they will be passing us by all too quickly.
