Thankful To Be Vaccinated Before Re-entry And In Case Of Another Lockdown

The choice was personal, yet it affects almost 8 billion people!

“But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.”

– Martin Luther King, Jr.

It’s beyond unfortunate that no vaccine is available for all kids twelve and under; this is the biggest reason I got the Covid-19 vaccine.

Did I have a choice? Yes, but my hopes for a brighter future guided me.

I got my second dose a while ago, but I didn’t want to. I was afraid of getting sick or, worse dying. Regardless, I felt this was the only way to be truly free again.

To have freedom of choice in life is such a privilege. However, if I were to die because of the poor alternative to getting vaccinated, what would my freedom matter?

I’m grateful for a vaccine. The location where I received my shot was an old Toys R Us store. While walking into the store, it reminded me of being a kid. I loved that store, and so did my kids.

Those feelings got me thinking. I have spoiled my children with so many toys from that store. It made me think about being a spoiled brat, not that my kids are spoiled or anything.

To be honest, I’m feeling like a spoiled brat to have the vaccine. I’m feeling like one of those ladies who used to push and shove to get the last Cabbage Patch doll. Don’t worry; I never did that.

Who doesn’t want the best for our kids? Getting the vaccine was the right choice. When I thought about our future generations, I hurried before they ran out. Don’t worry; I didn’t push or shove.

In loving memory

Covid-19 has proven to be a deadly illness. My cousin’s husband, John, lost his life back in December of 2020.

His beloved wife shared these words about the vaccine with me,

“He would have definitely gotten one if it would have been available at the time.”

He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend, and a teacher who has touched many lives. He was a gentle giant with a huge heart.

He is loved and missed dearly. Our family had a memorial a couple of weekends ago. It has been seven months since his passing. The reality of all these families whose lives will never be the same because of Covid-19 hit me to the core, it is devastating beyond words!

Left with a deep sadness

The numbness of grieving has worn off a bit, and reality is setting in. To see the tears on my cousin’s face with her two girls was almost too much to bear.

Thank you

This is a thank you note to the vaccine for if given a chance, it will bring a brighter future. It will protect our children, for they are the future.
