I can’t say for certain who failed us or by how much. But we are still able to make sure that we don’t fail each other.

These are difficult times for most of us. Many of us have either lost jobs or fear losing their jobs. Some of us have had to isolate ourselves from those we love. We’ve had to spend Easter cooped up in our houses. We scrounge for basic necessities. (I even wager there’s been a few who’ve made pacts with the devil for a roll of toilet paper).
Perhaps worst of all, many of us are boiling over with anger, wondering how this could have happened to us. Who failed us? Who’s responsible for allowing a disease to bring modern society to a complete standstill?
I don’t pretend to have answers to such questions. I don’t know how this happened. I can’t say for certain who failed us or by how much.
What I can say is, we are still able to make sure that we don’t fail each other. We can make the small but important decisions that can protect ourselves and our loved ones. And, we can spread happiness and goodwill to our neighbors, our friends, and our families.
We can make it through this America, pull together, hang tough, and have Faith, in God and in each other.
