“It was the best of times for some people and the worst of times for some people.” Michael describes life during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“I remember some people who didn’t make it. It was very scary. You would see somebody on a Monday and then on a Thursday they’re not here with us anymore.” Michael recalls losing people to Covid-19.
“Dilara taught me that there was always another train coming.” Michael memorializes his friend Dilara. Her favorite song was “Hey There Delilah,” by Plain White T’s, because Delilah rhymed with Dilara.
