Too little, too late
By Robbie Cheadle

Oh goodness, this one's sad but real.
Wow, powerful writing, Robbie. ❤️
Raw and sad, especially when coupled with that photo. Great job on striking the right (if painful) emotional chord!
Such as a person suffering from Covid because they refused to wear a mask!
God Bless us, everyone!
