COVID-19 has forced everyone I know and love to stay indoors. Sometimes I feel like I am part of the flu pandemic of 1918-1919 or trapped amidst the chaos and confusion of the Holocaust. I feel empathy for the residents of the Secret Annex before Anne Frank died in a concentration camp. Nevertheless, my passion for the beauty of the written word knows no bounds, and even if I die at a relatively young age, at least my writing will be my gift to the world. Keep hoping and dreaming, and never give up!
