But the sooner we all get vaccinated, the sooner things will get back to normal. I got mine as soon as I was eligible. I hope others have done/will do the same. I think that we are all tired of this.
Hi Jtrain,
The lost freedoms I was referring to include: not attending my niece's wedding party that was cancelled, not having our usual large Christmas and Easter celebrations with extended family members, missing my Godson's Step up ceremony to NYC Fire Dept Battalion Chief (held virtually), Not seeing my Grandaughter's first HS band concert, not seeing my other Granddaughter's play wherein she had 2 solos - both of these kids worked hard for 6 months only to perform with no audiences, not being able to see a show, ball game, etc, no car or train shows. Restaurants, bars and even fast food joints - closed, Church closed for a long time (via zoom is NOT the same), 3 Yorks, cancelled, cruises, cancelled, road trip around Iceland cancelled, not being able to hug my kids and grandkids for months, my baby brother passed, and 6 months later so did his wife (not from Covid) - could not see them in the hospital and could not have anything close to funerals, etc, etc.
One good thing; I had a lot of time to work on Warrenville and run trains. Not quite the same when you can't share this fun with friends, other than thru this Forum or emails - monthly visits to each other's train rooms have not yet resumed.
I see the light and the end of the tunnel, I'm fully vaccinated on top of having antibodies from having Covid - and I want these freedoms back going forward.
