We are using video face time, text messages and even phone calls to keep in touch with our families while we are ‘safe’ in our home. With underlying health issues we can’t take the chance to go visit any of them.

We miss the hugs. We miss the conversations. We miss eating out with the family at a nice restaurant. Probably most of all we miss the normality that no longer exists. We don’t know when we’ll be able to be with our families in person again.
Keep up the social distancing and other recommendations. How ever you are keeping yourself safe, friends, continue doing so.

Hubby misses his routine. He has age related dementia, and it’s so hard keeping him in 5 days a week and a quick drive out the other 2.

I am sorry your hubby is having a tough time. Hang in there, this too must end sometime, hopefully soon. Blessings to you both.

It hugs that I miss the most. I am keeping in touch with everyone by phone and our conversation are probably longer and deeper than they otherwise might be but I really miss the hugs.

It is hard not having the hugs. Frustration sets in easily when we think that we have family mere hours and in some case mere days away, but they might as well be across the ocean.

I am a hugger, and obviously can’t do that anymore. Wave and smile 😊 will have to do for now.

Yes, smile and wave is what we have to do with the kids and grandkids on the video chats. Thanks for the comment and the visit, and happy blogging.

I don’t have family or local friends. I find that I’m missing all the random strangers I would talk with, and a couple beertenders who were nice.
On the other hand, I’m sick of hearing a neighbor kid’s nuclear level meltdowns and the constant door slamming. They’re nice peeps but redonk noisy.

(Smiling) I can imagine that the stay at home thing is very hard on kids. Hope they soon settle down for you.

I also understand the frustration. But I’m actually quite concerned that one kid is going to become violent soon. Her parents are not good at parenting and the screaming is getting increasingly loud and long, and I know she already attacks her mother, who just takes it. It’s getting a bit scary.

I miss the grandchildren most of all!

Andrew, that is what we also miss. The picture of Sher and our granddaughter illustrates that. Blessings to you and yours this Easter.

Our daughter and son-in-law dropped off soil and plants for our garden on Saturday. It was difficult to keep our distance and hold back from the soul soothing hugs.

I’m not sure we could have shown such restraint, especially if any of the grandkids had been there! Glad you behaved, hard as it was.
