The Spring of 2020 is turning out to be one of the most challenging periods of many of our lives. Just a couple of months ago, the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to be more conceptual in nature. Now, New York City (where I was born) and New Jersey (where I live) are at the center of the global health crisis. Our homes are now our families’ offices and classrooms. When our workday or school day ends, we stay home instead of exploring the world around us.
One source of comfort during this difficult time is to revisit our photos old and new. These photos provide a lens to our lives, a collection of moments to remember and revisit. They serve as a reminder of special events and everyday events.
Until the pandemic dissipates, revisiting our photos may provide comfort to those who remain isolated. My own mom is in a senior residence that is unlikely to allow visitors for months. Mother’s Day 2020 will probably be just a phone call. Perhaps that nice-to-do photo book now becomes an even more important project.
