Not vulnerable, yet venerable

As I was doodling this portrait of an old lady who lives in my street, a thought came to me. As we are all aware with the current pandemic raging throughout the world, the elderly have been shut away, isolated. But this is the time they need us the most. They are our grandparents, great aunts and uncles, parents and friends, teachers, neighbours and mentors. It’s high time we celebrate their presence in our society, because no matter what one thinks about the COVID-19 virus, I think we'd all agree: how much poorer life would be without your Nanna or Nannu.
