50 claps for this. Thank you. You have no idea how much I need to hear this about things that are a lot more important than this article.

I have been told often--and truly feel--I don't have a right to complain or be sad about the pandemic because I am so lucky to have not gotten COVID or to have died, to have food and shelter, and to have health insurance. But of course, it has impacted me too and then I feel guilty I'm not as strong as evreyone else.

Thank you for this. Really. And it sounds like you're a truly wonderful dad. I wish my parents had said that to me!
