The relief I am feeling at finding community support in the reopening of kid world is greater than my dislike of the general population. Works in progress.
Closing the masked social distances of Coronaville is going to be a challenge for all of us. Healing hopes for all. No exceptions.
United we stand. Divided we fall.
