Katrina Donham reflects on a recent trip back to New York City with her husband, reminiscing about their life there before having children. They recall their vibrant experiences in the city, such as people-watching in Washington Square Park and enjoying weekends at the Rockaways. The trip was initially met with hesitation about leaving their two young daughters behind, but with their mother-in-law available to care for them, the couple seized the opportunity to reconnect with their pre-parent selves. As they explored familiar spots like the High Line and the Meatpacking District, they fondly remembered their carefree days. The contrast between their past and present lives became clear as they observed a young couple with a newborn, reminding them of their own challenges of becoming parents during the pandemic in April 2020. The trip offered a chance to reflect on how much their lives have changed while still cherishing those earlier memories.
