A Quiet Morning in America

<p>I had a conversation with someone recently whose entire family had contracted Covid. I found out like this:&nbsp;<em>sorry if my voice goes</em>, he said.&nbsp;<em>I have Covid</em>. I was helping him out with his work by answering some questions, but I quickly told him that he needed to rest.&nbsp;<em>Give yourself the space to recover,</em>&nbsp;I told him.&nbsp;<em>I guess my Dad told me the wrong thing,</em>&nbsp;he said.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been living in California for eleven years, and I&rsquo;ve been an American citizen since I was born. There are still moments that make me wonder about the place I moved to. Some of the things that leave me wondering whether I&rsquo;ll ever feel really at home here are relatively small &mdash; someone working through sickness instead of taking care of themselves, for example. And some are big.</p> <p><a href="https://humanparts.medium.com/a-quiet-morning-in-america-ad2a9fb3960"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
