What a year 2020 has been for all of us. We at KSR hope you and your families are well in spite of the COVID-19 storm that has devastated many nations and forever changed our lives. We have witnessed insurmountable losses and lived through a period of heightened anxiety. We have witnessed our homes transformed into our work spaces, schools for our children, and gyms to keep our bodies and minds fit. We have also witnessed great empathy from our fellow men and women who have sacrificed their lives and gone beyond the call of duty to make our world a safe and better place—governors, doctors, nurses, store stackers, grocery workers, meat packers, volunteers and all those unnamed anonymous saintly souls. Yet, we remain cautiously optimistic that this tumultuous year will soon come to an end like all things life do. For those who lost loved ones because of COVID or continue to weather its ravages, we hope you find comfort in the memories you shared and in each other in spite of social distancing.
