My Experience
This time at home has had its ups and downs. My grandfather was diagnosed with Covid-19 and has been in an ICU for nearly two months. For a while he was under a medically induced coma, but has since been more awake and is recovering. As unfortunate as his situation is, his illness has brought my family and community closer together. Every night at 8pm my family joins a Zoom call with dozens of other friends and family members to pray the rosary in his name. It started off with a smaller group with small intentions, but now is quite large with a multitude of people and issues in mind. It amazes me how people can stay hopeful and grow closer together through such hard times.
