COVID Can Make You Sick Quicker than You Can Say, the Quick Brown Fox Jumps over the Lazy Dog
It was a far cry from where we were in 2020
Two weeks ago, I decided to finally get my booster shot. I have been delaying it because I didn’t want to have a downtime. I can still remember the first time I had my shot, I had to rest for a day or two and the days that followed weren’t that great.
But it was important that I get my first shot, I knew too many people who got sick and worse died from COVID.
Mom passed away in 2021. I will be forever grateful to God that she didn’t die from COVID, it was my worry and fear.
I wouldn’t let her be all alone in a hospital room. I had long decided then that if that happened, I would be right there by her, never mind if I get sick or die from it too.
Like most of our worries and fears that didn’t happen. Mom had a beautiful death at home. She had been a dialysis patient for seven years, and it was time for her to rest.
I still miss Mom every day. There are days when I still feel that I failed her, but I also know that before she closed her eyes the last time, all that was left was her love for me and for those who she was leaving behind.
