Prompt #4: How has COVID impacted you?

COVID has been a hard thing to get through for everyone. For me, I feel I was most heavily impacted in my family gatherings. My parents are divorced, and I live with my mom, and I used to see my dad twice a week. Since the pandemic began, I haven't been able to see him as much; a few times, in masks, but otherwise we are seperated. It's really taken a toll on my mood, I think. My dad is a huge source of inspiration for me and a personal hero, so not being able to see him has hurt me. We used to cook something every Thursday, but obviously that's also been on hold. My cookbook has taken a hit! I'm hoping things can go back to a relative normal ASAP.
