I was fortunate to receive my second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center yesterday, three weeks to the day after receiving my first dose.
I could not help but noticing the two dates on which I received the two doses:
1/21/21 and 2/11/21
Each date has three ones and two twos. There may be some meaning that is escaping me at the moment, but I am glad to have had the opportunity to have been vaccinated. We certainly recognize that this does not completely eliminate the chance of infection, but perhaps it does lessen the anxiety somewhat.
Of course, the truly celebratory day will be when our entire family has been vaccinated so that we can see each other in person once again.
Meanwhile, we were glad to participate with Julia, albeit remotely, as she and her classmates received their first prayer books at school. Each of the children made a cover for their books with their names on it, and each chose a particular blessing on which to speak. Julia chose the blessing thanking Gd for “providing for all our needs,” and she included thanks for providing the “medicines and vaccines so that I can be with friends and family.” She is shown at 13 minutes and 41 seconds into the video.
Not surprisingly, I am a bit tired after receiving the vaccine yesterday. But I wanted to share that good news and wish all of you a safe and healthy weekend.
Love,
Rebecca
