I previously felt that I didn’t really get to spend too much quality time with my son. This pandemic has really helped me with that in a positive way, now that I can work from home and spend time with him. The first thing I will do after the lockdown is over, would be to visit my parents. It's very depressing to hear about the damage this pandemic has caused people. I hope everything gets back to normal soon by god's grace.
