I took this photo at Ford Heritage Park while passing by on a bike ride with my family. It depicts the lonely swing sets at the park, which are usually bustling and filled up with people.

On a Friday after work, my girlfriend and I go downstairs to take a walk in our neighborhood after a whole week working remotely from home. Our friend lives in the same neighborhood and we call her, but due to social distancing policy we cannot meet each other. So she could only say hi from her apartment and we are downstairs chatting for a while, through phone, though 'face to face'. I then take a shot with my camera recording this very moment that they see each other.

As a retired RN and in the At Risk age group I was feeling really helpless. Also at the beginning of the outbreak hospitals were not accepting masks. I am a sewer of Little Dresses for Africa and had lots of fabric and notions that I could easily turn into masks. Then on a Saturday feeling very low and sad and angry and frustrated knowing I would not last 5 minutes in a nursing position the news came that front line workers and hospitals also needed home made masks to use over their N95's to make them last longer. I jumped for joy. Finally I felt like I had a mission and could sew masks to support.

My daughter is a veterinary technician. They are still open to take care of pets, but all of the personal protective equipment has been rerouted to the hospitals and first responders. They were interacting with pet owners, and doing procedures on animals with limited or no PPE. I made over 75 masks, and 20 surgical caps for them.
