LANTZ:<\/strong>  An author from Lantz has had a poem she was inspired to write because of the COVID19 pandemic made into a book, which was published locally in East Hants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynn Lapthorne penned \u2018Never Again\u2019 a poem she wrote because of the need for all of us to stay away from everyone we hold dear during COVID19. It was published by Once Upon Tyne Publishing in Milford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was literally walking around the house vowing to my husband, \u201cnever again will I take for granted being able to hug and kiss our kids,\u2019\u201d said Lapthorne in an email interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Never Again\u2019 moves with us as we watch our lives change drastically with social distancing and realizing everything, we\u2019re so grateful for; to watching our communities, and the world, come together to help us through the COVID19 pandemic. Finally acknowledging the Angels in healthcare who we\u2019ll never forget and frontline workers in all aspects of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are forever indebted to all these heroes,\u201d she said. \u201cThis book is dedicated to all front-line people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book has received positive feedback from quite a few who have purchased it already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lapthorne said she\u2019s excited to have her first book published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had poetry published in various papers, but to hold a book of my own in my hand, it\u2019s a totally different feeling of accomplishment and pride,\u201d said Lapthorne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the COVID19 shutdown has been hard on everyone in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt drains you emotionally to not see your children, grandchildren, parents and friends,\u201d she said. \u201cIt made me look at what can be taken away so easily and the things I\u2019ll change from here on out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lapthorne said the most important thing is she wanted to share her thoughts about COVID19 with others so they wouldn\u2019t feel so alone. She decided to donate a portion of each book sold to the East Hants Family Resource Centre in Elmsdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey do wonderful work in the community, even during this crisis, and due to COVDI19, their Mother\u2019s Day Tea was cancelled,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat better place to donate than somewhere affected by Covid 19?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
