In the last year no term has come to mean less than the word “virtual”. Though we’ve had to make due with what was available, there is no pretending that all of these things (e.g online classes, Zoom calls, waving at grandma from outside the window…) are virtually the same as the real thing. We need to recognize how blessed our “normal” has been, and not take it for granted, if it ever returns.
I long for normal
Amen and me too!
