To Ken

9/12/2020:

I miss saying "Hi" to you!

Keep fighting!


Update 9/15/2020:

This morning, Florida reported 139 deaths due to COVID-19. One of those was Ken. He took his last breath as his wife listened over the phone yesterday evening. We get caught up in the numbers and the bias, but we so easily forget that behind those numbers are moms, dads, workers, and retirees like Ken.

I still miss saying "Hi" to you!


Update 9/26/2020:

We held the memorial for Ken over Zoom today. His wife was strong, but I think that she has cried her eyes out over the past month. Now, when I hear or see the COVID-19 numbers, I think of Ken. The statistics are very different when they are humanized.

I still miss saying "Hi", Ken!
