#CovidDiary, Day 5

Since our family’s viral adventure began, one thing has become abundantly clear: we’re not alone.

We’ve been inundated with offers from kind friends near and far. Whatever we need, they’re willing to pick it up, drop it off, or otherwise do whatever it is that needs doing.

With delivery services and apps galore, we’ve been pretty well covered on the logistics front, but just knowing so many folks have our back is one of those surprising blessings of the pandemic. People truly are good.

I’m slowly getting out ahead of this. While I no longer feel like I’m about to hack up part of a lung, the headaches, body aches, fatigue, and dizziness are insane. I wish I could wave a wand and fling my wife and kids further along the recovery path, because we’ll all feel better when this is behind us.

However long it takes, we’re comforted by the community of friends that stands behind us. And we’re immensely grateful.

About this pic: Boston, almost 16 years ago to the day. When naysayers complain about spending on urban design, show them this. It matters.
