When 2021 started, I knew it was coming: March.
That month, which had previously only marked sweet milestones for me birthdays, celebrations, those first and fleeting warm days of early spring felt infinitely heavier this year.
I knew this March would mark one year since COVID-19 reached Colorado and most of our lives changed seemingly overnight.
But how do you convey that in a story? There’s no way to wrap a full year of fear, uncertainty, pain and hope into a neat little package. There are no words to summarize what our community has been through trust me, I’ve written thousands of them.
