At the start of the Coronavirus outbreak, my family and I got a message from our neighbors telling us that they had COVID 19. It was a severe case and all of the adults had it. Eventually, their grandfather passed so we sent them flowers and brought them dinner every week. Later we received a note saying how much they enjoyed the flowers and they sent us their dinner request. It was a tragic turn of events but the light was we got to know our incredible, resilient neighbors better.
