I cry a little every time I hear Lester Holt say,
please take care of yourself, and each other,
at the end of his nightly newscast.
Sadness about the pandemic is everywhere.
I've never done so much crying in the shower.
I'm weeping for my country;
for the people who are sick, lost,
for the people who are sick, lost,
out of work, hungry, scared, hopeless.
I tell myself things will get better
but I don't know that for sure.
I say it because I need to believe it.
As time goes on, hopefully we'll figure out
new pathways, we'll find our new normal.
And maybe things really will get better.

Oh, Marianne, this brought tears to my eyes. I love Lester Holt. So, does my daughter, I hear his words echoing in my ears. Thanks for writing this.
Love,
Pammy
