So.
This was my April. The emptiest April in memory.
Connor’s big Chuck-E-Cheese birthday is cancelled. In fact, the entire Chuck-E-Cheese franchise is closed, indefinitely.
No public Easter Egg hunts no spring craft fairs no silly April Fools with friends.
No school.
OMG YOU GUYS NO TAXES.
Okay, there’s still taxes. But they’re deferred until July. THEY NEVER LET YOUR TAXES BE LATE AND NOW YOUR TAXES CAN BE LATE THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW.
How you know it’s a big deal.
BUT YOU GUYS. BUT.
As much as this month was scary and weird and isolating… it was also rich.
It was resplendent with opportunity.
It was all these things and so much more.
It was chaos. It was sometimes insufferable. But it was sometimes immeasurably wonderful.
It was (and is) a moment in time that we will remember, forever and always. Our Empty April, that ended up being filled so, so much.
(Also filled: my wineglass, every evening. Just saying.)
