O’Connor Family

January 26, 2021

Bryan O’Connor and his wife are both essential workers and have been on the frontlines since the height of the coronavirus pandemic in March. Bryan is a firefighter and his wife is a nurse at the local medical center. 

They have three children ages six and below and a baby on the way, making them very scared about bringing the virus home to their family.  

Between juggling homeschooling for their six-year-old, nursery school for their three-year-old and 24-hour shifts at the fire station, the couple has had to adjust their schedule, so one parent is working and the other is home with the kids throughout the week.  

Bryan and his wife see 2020 as a huge blessing as they were able to spend more time with their family and even got to spend the holidays with their extended family, but their hope for 2021 is that the world returns to normal, so they can get back to taking road trips with their kids!
