U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have marked the United States 500,000 death from COVID-19 with a candle light vigil and a moment of silence.
I have such vivid memories of doing my homework by the candle light as typhoons raged outside, wiping out electricity, growing up, being afraid of drowning in my own bedroom as I would wake up to a flooded room.
There would be no candles lighted at such times as these; and Oliver would sit by one of the windows, listening to the sweet music, in a perfect rapture.
