throughout the pandemic i have lost a family member, been told another has terminal cancer,accepted spending my sons 18th birthday the other side of a glass door due to shielding, experienced a lot of complications with my own health, coped through a ceiling collapsing in my home and learnt something quite tricky to come to terms with involving my past and how it has impacted my family. Having my 5 children at home since march and all these other contributing factors has lead to difficulties with reading, whether it's due to lack of time or struggling to focus. After reading this i can say that i'm very excited to read more because i found myself so immersed i forgot about all of life's issues and everything it has thrown at me recently. I have thoroughly enjoyed this so far and look forward to giving more reading a chance now.
