I’ve been trying for some time to think of a single reason that anyone anywhere would be sad to see the year 2,020 fade in to the history books tonight at midnight, but frankly, I can’t think of a single one. A year we will remember For the loss of people we care for because of the pandemic, For introducing terms to the language like social distancing and mask-shaming, and a year that will be remembered most for events and activities that didn’t happen will come to a close tonight at midnight  and it won’t happen a minute to soon for me.  Even if there is no immediate lessening of the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on our lives as  the new year begins, at least we can hold on to hope that things will start to return to something that looks a little more like normal early in 2021. It’s that hope that keeps us all going as we say good bye and good ridden to 2,020 tonight. That’s the way I see it..
