#OnHoldAtHome with the Neville Family
We’re finding solace in places and things we had not realized we were missing.”
What are your fears and/or concerns right now?
Hallie: I’m concerned for what the future looks like. I’m worried about my parents – about hugging them again "when it's safe" but it's not safe. I’m worried one of them gets the virus after we think it's okay to be around each other again.
Rylie: That my grandparents might not make it if they got the virus. For myself, failing on-line class.
What have you learned from living this new normal?
Rylie: Don't take things for granted. Like my friends – being able to go to a coffee shop and walk home together while sharing Air Pods. I just miss my friends.
Do you think anything positive will come from all of this?
Nolan: I think that we’ll have less sickness in the future. We’ve learned now how dangerous it can be and how things spread. We’ll wash our hands more and stay away from people more.
Raymond: We’re finding solace in places and things we had not realized we were missing. And finding new joy in things like family dinner and open schedules.
