It's been so long since I've seen any family outside of my home thanks to Covid, and sadly there are a few that I'll never see again. The grief I've felt these last 2 years has seemed endless. Too many days have been filled with tears for the people I've lost, especially my beautiful sister... she was my best friend.
She died from Covid only days before Christmas 2021, on December 19th. It happened suddenly and without warning. Unfortunately, she was one of those people who wanted to wait to get their Covid vaccinations until more was known, she never got the chance. Just as she was starting to feel hopeful, she'd gone back to college and graduated Cum Laude, her sons were doing well, and she was fostering a beautiful little boy, almost since his birth. Her last posts on TikTok, were posts of hope. The idea that she never got a break, breaks my heart and broke me.
