‘The pride I have about my sister is so immense that I wanted to share with you all that my sister is a superhero.’ (Sheila)
STRETCHED AND PULLED IN ALL DIRECTIONS
Today’s story comes from Sheila and is a beautiful tribute to her sister – a frontline worker directly involved in the daily fight against coronavirus.
DISCUSSION
Our discussion brings up the need to continue to support frontline workers during this second lockdown. We speak about the rollercoaster all frontline workers have faced and the potential trauma and exhaustion which comes with this.
I add a sidenote about instagram, the platform where I met all people who have decided to share their stories of this year, and where I had the honour to meet Sheila, the author of today’s story, also.
RECOMMENDATION
Today’s recommendation is one of my favourite ever songs. I love Barb Jungr’s interpretation, but it is a Bob Dylan original. It’s also a birthday wish to Sheila.
Sheila has recently opened her online shop, her calendars are so beautiful. Have a look.
