‘Lives we used to have’

Dear Editor:

RE: What will it be like? (June 3).

I think there was a lot of thought behind what it might be like when businesses and schools open and what it will be like having a sense of normality. The pandemic has prevented my family from putting on a deck. As a result of the pandemic, the cost of wood is expensive and the whole process is different now. There was a lot of focus on businesses and the struggles that they have endured because of the pandemic, but I think something else to focus on are the citizens.

With schools and businesses opening up, making personal adjustments to everything will look different than the adjustments that had to be made since the pandemic started.

Children that can attend school again might be anxious because of being online for so long, and those that are running businesses could also feel the same way, due to the reopening of stores, factories, etc.

While there will definitely be positivity coming out from the struggles of the pandemic, there will also be hardships adjusting to the lives we used to have.
