Notes From an Essential Worker Series #5

The COVID-19 virus disrupts life, particularly our relationships with those we love. But, relationships are flexible and adapt to circumstance. My mom cut my hair until I left for college. Her grandfather was a barber, and because she cut my brothers' hair, too, she had a lot of practice. After COVID-19 closed our schools and sent us home, my mom cuts our hair again. On her note, she let us know that she had time to cut our hair today after work. Although COVID-19 has closed the barbers down, my brothers and I still have fresh cuts. #FordhamUniversity #VART3030
