It is almost Easter and my family usually gather together at a park and do a big egg hunt except this year was going to be a little different due to the pandemic. We all had to stay at our homes since there can't be any large gatherings. This was when I started thinking that all of our family gatherings were going to have to be canceled. And up to this day Dec.11 of 2020 it looks like it is going to be canceled. It has been a long time since I have not spend time with family because we are trying to keep each other safe.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
