I know that we would all like to be surrounded by family, I know that the world is in pain. It’s in pain because people are forced to social distance and stay away from each other for their own safety. This 4th of July is weird, it’s sad, but through all of that sadness, something beautiful emerged. We learned how important our families are to us, we miss Sunday dinners, outings to the mall, or a simple playdate. This 4th of July was a wake-up call. I think most of us answered. This year we were also told that fireworks may not be the best idea, but because of our American spirit and perseverance, we knew that we needed to celebrate our land. The coronavirus is starting to fade away, but we need to take it one step at a time. Another issue is the riots. These riots aren’t good, they are terrible. The President is doing all he can, just like most people, just like the world. This 4th of July, we need to be proud of our country and we need to stick together and be united. We need to be Americans. Happy 4th of July.
