Corona virus has affected me in a lot of ways especially in terms of mental health.<strong> This week, my grandfather died and due to the pandemic, there have been less planes regularly shuttling back and forth</strong> between usual places. So, I had to wait for a plane that went from Albany, New York to Richmond, Virginia. Due to this, on the last and connecting flight to Richmond my grandfather died, and I couldn't say goodbye.<strong> I experienced his loss through a text when I landed and proceeded to cry into my hands.</strong> I couldn't talk or move but eventually had to because the plane had to continue on it's way. <strong> The pandemic made me miss the final goodbye to my grandfather.</strong>
