Goodbye and Good Riddance 2020
By Liam P. Mayclem–
2020 was our “annus horribilis” (horrible year), to paraphrase Queen Elizabeth II. For most, 2021 cannot come soon enough, and this next year I hope will be our “annus mirabilis” a wonderful year.
Everyone everywhere, from world leaders and royalty to prison inmates and the homeless, has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic that defined much of 2020. The virus came close to home for me when both sides of my family were hit by the virus here in the U.S. and back home in the U.K. Joyfully, everyone in my family pulled through, but that was not the case for all, and my heart is with all those we lost; too many, taken too soon.
