Thus far at least, you’ve survived. That’s no small thing. Cross your fingers, you’ve managed to outwit a deadly pandemic, master the technical snafus of online schooling, and learned how to talk to clients on the phone while making peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches. You’ve looked everywhere for your mask before realizing it was on your elbow. You’ve avoided awkward conversations (most of them anyway) with anti-vaxxers. You learned how to live on pizza crusts, four hours sleep, five hour Zoom calls, and bored, restless kids bouncing off the walls like hornets in a jar.
All of us- save for the fucking morons who think they're too smart to get the vaccine- are heroes. We've persevered, and we've survived. I wonder sometimes what scars will remain with school-age children, but at least they'll be alive to tell the tale.
Not exactly the stuff of the Greatest Generation...but you do what you can with the cards you're dealt. Ours were just a tremendously shitty hand. Then again, we didn't have to face down a mad man bent on killing an entire race and enslaving the planet, did we?
We've see some stuff, haven't we? I just hope we haven't stunted something important in the so-called "Covid Generation." I feel guilty enough as it is, leaving them this mess to clean up.

Yeah, we've seen some shit. Somehow, though, I think the kids will be OK.
