How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

This weekend I got to celebrate easter with my family. I drove home for the weekend to see them. This easter felt different because the number of people who we usually celebrate with decreased so we could be safer. Also, my family did not get to attend church like we usually do because it's not safe right now to congregate in huge numbers. I feel like attending church on easter morning is a big part of easter because we are surrounded by tons of people celebrating the same things. Also my mom makes a big to do about dressing up nicely for easter, and it feels special being surrounded by others at church who are also dressed up. It felt less exciting than most easters, but we still tried to continue traditions and make it fun. We still did an easter egg hunt, dyed eggs, and celebrated easter with my favorite foods. The delicious foods are one of my favorite parts of easter, like my mom's green bean bundles or huge spread of appetizers. In addition to easter, it was so nice to spend time with my family. I missed being home with them.
