There were parties and trips on airplanes, and maybe my life won't be the same as before.
I could have friends play at my house and I could go to their house.
I went to school, music, dance and tumbling, and could sit next to my friends and hug my teachers.
I could go shopping with my mom and dad ..., but I haven't been out of my house for three months, except to go biking or to visit my family.
I could go to restaurants and sit at the table and socialize with family, and order off a fun menu, and I got to color and get a kids cup with my meal. Now, we can only get take-out or go through the drive-through, if the restaurants are even open.
I got to play on the playground at the restaurants and parks, but they've been closed too.
It's hard to recognize people now because their faces are covered with masks.
It didn't used to be this way, and I miss my friends.
