Theory of Relativity

I feel numb. And not at all as numb as I think I’m supposed to feel. Feelings these last two days are weird. Strange. They are… a human experience I’ve felt before but never believe I’m supposed to feel again. Knowing though, I will.

I’m supposed to be celebrating the final push of projects and grades that took my child to a place where tomorrow it’s his last day of school. Before summer break.

I’m supposed to be coming out of our shell of pandemic and embracing people and plans and a whole different school year by next fall perhaps.
