Lately, it seems we're getting right back to where we started with all of this quarantining, so that is really frustrating for us. And that is really upsetting because even the kids' friends who prayed for Andy and loved him are so angry about it and having to wear masks.
I think about being in quarantine again. I think about the kids not being able to go to school, people not being able to work and me being stuck inside again alone, and all those things — it's scary.
Unless it touches you, you don't think it's that real, and I just don't understand how people don't get it.
Why do you have to be personally touched or have someone you love die in order to take this seriously? It's infuriating. It's like you want to scream it from the rooftops.
I just wish collectively we could all just be safe and do the right thing. People are going to have to figure this out for themselves, and it's not going to get better until we can all come together, but I don't know how many more lives we can lose.
