Pater: 2020 - it was just a horrible dream

Dear Avocado Juniors
When you look back on this year aka "2020 Hindsight Vision", Pater has no doubt you'll have very mixed emotions and wonder what to make of it all. The 3 Cs will come to mind; Cancel, Chaos and Quarantine (!). True, you all came closer together as we isolated through the Spring, Summer, Autumn and now the Winter, as a nuclear unit that thankfully did not go nuclear. But you also spent the time unable to attend summer camp, hug your grandmas, play freely with friends, or celebrate festivals and milestones with family. Globally, the world witnessed misery, sadness and a widening of divides across a myriad of spectrums. So the question remains how best to treat 2020, the year that never was? There have been pages and pages of editorials and blogposts, trying to understand, trying to explain, trying to rationalise this year. But perhaps the approach you all took was the best - sleep it off and pretend it never even happened (though some of you seemed to be better at this approach than others...).
