And although COVID was quiet terrible for many, many, reasons - there was some beautiful things that came out of it. We got to celebrate Kaylas beautiful and enchanting Bat Mitzvah outdoors with close family and friends. We got to spend a TON of quality time with the kids. I started my CHILLZONE CREATIONS company - which is still growing and your work in the hospital was acknowledged on a much deeper level by all around you.
