Our stories are forever changed by the people we love. The memories we shared, the hurdles we crossed together. And even when they are gone, those stories remain within us, close to our hearts and never forgotten.
As a person with significant immunocompromise, I always wear a mask, and I’m so grateful when other people do, too. What’s frustrating is how many people tell me that I shouldn’t be wearing one.
Recently I casually encouraged people in a friend group text to wear N95s during an upcoming event for the benefit of a friend on chemo & other #HighRiskCovid19 folks.
That friend replied that people shouldn't feel obligated to wear them.
This is the world we live in, folks.
