Talk about any major life events, milestones, or other important things in life that have been disrupted by the pandemic.

<strong> Last year's Thanksgiving Dinner at church was cancelled, or course! It was one of the highlights of my year.</strong> I don't think that we will be able to have it this year, either. Take-out boxes are a poor stand-in for the camaraderie that we experienced. <strong> The family reunion was cancelled, as well.</strong> We are trying to organize one via Zoom, hoping that August might allow a gathering. The vaccine rollout seems hampered, and I wonder if that will even come to pass. <strong> So many people are missing the traditional milestone gatherings</strong>; baby showers, bridal showers, weddings, proms, graduations, and funerals, we must find other ways of gathering. Sporting events, homecomings, the list goes on.<strong> Much of the fabric of our community lives has been ripped away!</strong>
