2020 What a Year

M. A. McKee 1964 (South Carolina)



In the coming New Year, I pray for all our Family, Friends,  and Neighbors.  That we can all finally see an end to this Pandemic,  keeping us all away from our families and doing our jobs, as we have all a long. I pray for hugs, hand shakes, the everyday blessings of being able to be with the ones that need us and our families.  
 This past year has broken my heart. That's the only way to put it.  We didn't have Easter and Christmas has been postponed.  
  I pray that this is the last year any of us, go through all we have learned to except as normal this year. Facemasks and 6ft are now normal. I pray that we can be with our families when they are in the hospital or in crisis.  
 I pray for an end to it in 2021, for all of us.
  I also have to say thank you to all the essential people who have bravely faced this crisis day in and day out.  God bless you all.  God bless us all as a Country,  as people,  as your children.
