Monday Mental Health DragonCon 2021

Posted By on September 13, 2021

I needed DragonCon this year. 

I wanted to see my friends and family.

I wanted to see my parents and their new home. I wanted to hug them and talk to them in person. That was the longest I have ever gone not seeing them in person and that sucked. We stayed connected through Zoom and phone calls and Facetime

It was all I wanted and a bag of chips.

I got to spend time catching up with old friends and made some new ones.

Hugs I got a lot of them, and it was so nice to be able to hug my friends.

It did a lot for my mental health. 

We did take precautions. We were masked. 

Caroline joined us Friday night and left on Monday. It was lovely to have her there. She had a blast. She also had fun telling people who have known her since she was ten months old that she is now eighteen and in college. The expressions of disbelief were amazing.

It felt normal for the most part and that helped my mental state so much.

I am so very grateful we were able to go to DragonCon.
