At the beginning of 2020, we all thought it would be an ordinary year. Full of short-lived resolutions, fleeting moments of sadness and cheer, trip plans that would never happen. You know, the usual. Little did we know that a crowned speckle was heading like a meteor in our direction.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An invisible virus that stopped us all in our tracks. Businesses were halted, schools and colleges were shut down. People struggled to get back home. But a group of relentless soldiers draped in white were at the battlefront. Ready to tackle, defy, and sacrifice. Striving to save families while being distanced from their own. Abandoning sleep and rest for the sake of others. To protect their allegiance to an oath.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over a year has passed since. But their fight never stopped. Their resilience never took a break. Even the virus that brought the world down to its knees couldn\u2019t break through their impenetrable resolve. But in the end, losses were inevitable.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Losses of lives who died saving countless more. You\u2019ve read about them. Doctors gasping for their last breath. Bleeding through wrongly inflicted wounds. Final goodbyes being snatched away. Words left unspoken. Memories that were never made. You wonder if that would ever be you.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
