 In those early days of the pandemic, so many of us found ourselves dreaming about what it would be like when we could once again hug friends and family outside our immediate household. We fantasized about the moment when we could enjoy going out to a restaurant or a music venue. We told ourselves that we would not take those moments for granted once we had them back. And indeed, the first time I got to see relatives overseas and enjoy dinner out with friends, it was truly amazing.
