COVID scars are so real, so fresh. I work as a literacy coach in a public school of 500+ students, and I see the collateral damage this virus, this pandemic, has caused our faculty, staff, students, and families. Your post made me cry, but that was cathartic, and I thank you for sharing this with the world. We can all hope that we will survive with scars. beckymchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316897169071412441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143907991696731390.post-15145602900491937312021-12-07T17:50:01.153-05:002021-12-07T17:50:01.153-05:00These scars are so real.

Also, there are many that are still unknown to us since we're barely at the two-year anniversary ofthe pandemic.Stacey Shubitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903206728640184043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143907991696731390.post-91490054937395847642021-12-07T11:03:21.877-05:002021-12-07T11:03:21.877-05:00Thank-you for your brave post.

It's an unusual sort of coincidence that I wrote about scars today as well; though, the scars that I mentioned are all superficial while this is deep and likely to last into many years. Thank you so much for sharing this slice.Melanie Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441817427313831898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143907991696731390.post-24823649178236294892021-12-07T07:32:11.097-05:002021-12-07T07:32:11.097-05:00In the school the specter of Covid has never left ...In the school the specter of Covid has never left us. The risks, the testing, the remains of plexiglass shields, the ever-present masks... and risks make the presence of this all to real. I often consider what the other side of this might be like, if there ever really is another side. I haven't been to the mall or to a restaurant for such a long time. I am glad that your little troop is moving on despite their battle scars. May we all continue to thrive. Readingteachsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820046510058260683noreply@blogger.com
