4.21.21 // vaccine

Last week I received my Johnson&Johnson COVID vaccine...
.
Here are my thoughts:

• I can’t wait to hug old friends again. To hold them in my arms and fill them with my love from a year of distance.

• I can’t wait to hug new friends for the first time. Hugs without worry, doubt, or fears.

• I’m so excited for essential workers to rest easy knowing they are protected from a deadly virus that has haunted their shadows for over a year.

• I’m looking forward to the families who lost loved ones over the past year to properly mourn with family and friends.

• I’m looking forward to the babies who were born over the past year to finally meet their families and friends.

• I’m looking forward to the lovers who were looking to wed to finally say their vows with their family and friends.

• I’m excited for no more lives to be lost prematurely from a virus we now have protection from.

• I can’t wait for the day where I can walk out my door and see the smiling faces of family, friends, and strangers alike.

Vaccines are now available for anyone in the United States over 16.

We can now see a future where those once distant daydreams could actually become a reality.

What are you looking forward to most with the rollouts of the COVID vaccine?
