3. Whoa! What a wonderful tribute and one that shows the ups/downs of this incredible virus.

I've been there with parents, siblings and in-laws, but never with Covid-19. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to have a family member or friend going through this misery and not be able to stay with them and support them...talk to them or touch them.

This young son was fortunate to have the medical support system that would give him information twice per day, but the roller-coaster ride he and his family were on was incredible. We hear the same type of situation from other stories and the stress has to be nearly unbearable. They say God only gives you what you can handle. This is stretching that thought to the limit.

The article is long but well worth the read. Be sure to have some tissues nearby.
