Dear Alex, Yup. You read the title of this post right, you are 17 years old! As always, I write you a letter to share your accomplishments, stressors and life in general over the past year.  This letter, however will be remarkably different because this past year (starting exactly the day you turned 16) is the year that you lived in quarantine due to the Corona virus causing a worldwide pandemic. Beyond just a lining - More like solid silver Okay, so I know it's absolutely horrible that so many people have died, been very sick, lost their jobs, gone hungry, but for me quarantine has provided a precious year with you during which otherwise we would all have been off in different directions.  I have watched movies and Jeopardy and played logic board games and eaten three meals a day every day with you.  I have listened to you sing in the shower and watched you play games on your phone when your camera was off during home school.  I have seen you develop deep friendships with people,
