Great Grandmother's First Zoom Meeting
The woman in the middle of the screen is my great-grandmother, who is 101 years old. Because of the outbreak, she has been unable to meet all her grandchildren in China, Jarkata, America, and Singapore. After this Zoom meeting, she called my grandfather and cried, because as a 101-year-old, she couldn't understand why we were meeting this way. She was frightened and uneasy. This story is significant to me because I am grateful that I have such an amazing great-grandmother, and it has been an emotional period for all of us.
