I don’t think that we were prepared for this to happen. We were going through our regular lives and schedules, busy as usual. This change made us all slow down our lives a bit. Even though we are at a point where we don’t know when things will go back to “normal” we choose to believe that the best is still yet to come. Even though some of us might not be working and we are worried about how we will pay for rent this month, we are grateful that we have been given a chance to wake up and make the best out of our days.
This is a message of hope. That even though we can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, we have faith and confidence knowing that it will come. We will soon be able to visit our family members, hug our friends, and celebrate birthdays together.
Even though we have been apart, it seems that we have also grown closer together. We reach out to family and friends we would usually not talk to and make sure they are healthy. We have midday zoom calls with family just to check up on them. We do drive-thru birthday celebrations because we love the people we are doing life with and want to celebrate them, even if it is at a distance. There is something positive growing here, despite the storm and the rain and the dark clouds, there is a rainbow of hope.
Keep your eye on the rainbow and everything else shall pass. Thank you for being a part of the Pasta Party Miami Family! We love you and hope to see each other soon!
