This piece was inspired by some roses that were gifted from the public to hospital workers like myself, as a thank you for all of the hard work that we were doing during the pandemic. It was the first bouquet of flowers ever given to me. Within a week of receiving them, I fell ill with coronavirus symptoms and had to self-isolate.
Seeing those roses in my kitchen every day helped remind me, whilst I most likely fell ill because of my job in the hospital, that my work was appreciated and that I should be proud of what I did.
To me, these roses represent that time. They represent the beautiful boom of support from the public for those working in healthcare. They represent the “we’ll get through this together” attitude that reigned during the earlier part of the pandemic.
