What Could Have Been

The pandemic currently sweeping the globe has taken something from almost all of us. Regardless of whether or not we are sick ourselves, many of us have lost jobs, freedom of mobility, the opportunity to spend time with friends and family, etc. I myself lost my primary source of income because restaurants in the Commonwealth of Virginia were closed to dine-in traffic for two months. The loss of said primary income, however, is not what I am most upset about or have been thinking the most about over the past ten weeks and change. Rather, it is the cancellation of the remainder of my club volleyball season (scheduled to go through the South Atlantic Championships over the recently completed Memorial Day weekend) that saddens me first and foremost. Allow me to tell you a story.
