No tree sparkling with holiday joy. No candlelight Christmas Eve service to remind me of the true meaning of Christmas. No grandchildren tearing open fancy wrapped gifts before enjoying the traditional turkey dinner. And no travelling to visit family members who are homebound to make sure they weren’t alone on this Christmas Day.
But there was love… an abundance of love from everywhere … that gave me strength, determination and hope that I could beat this coronavirus that was wrecking my body like no other illness has ever done.
It wasn’t easy and there were times when I cried reading in The Express of COVID deaths of local folks… some dear friends of mine who died from this horrible disease that has invaded the world.
