It has been a crazy week for my family. Last Friday (I think) my son’s significant other notified me that she and her family, and my son had been exposed to COVID. It turns out she tested positive and then became very ill. But even though it was scary, I think her health has kept her less sick than she could have been. Even so she and I have spent a lot of time on messenger chatting. Me trying to keep her a bit distracted from how scared she was, and she trying to help me not be so scared for her and my son. I think that is why I have been less able to blog, or think of anything but this situation.
By the way, my son tested negative, yet he is coughing as of today. Again, he’s pretty healthy so I’m not very worried. My third son had it quite a while ago and is out having fun now. He and his crew got their shots so they can play at the beach with masks on.
I’m saying all this just to point out that the numbers we see on the news we need to multiply all family and friend lists to get to the why the angst of this last couple years has climbed to an all time high. The silver lining is all of us getting to know each other better. And for me it has pushed me to get healthier so I can withstand it all.
I have no doubt that many who will read this have their own stories to tell about how this pandemic is touching them personally. Let me quickly send out a hug to all of you and wish you the solidarity of love and health to get through it all.

Lots of best wishes for your son and his SO.
Thank you!🙏💜
You’re welcome!
We too have had a couple of close encounters with this dreadful virus, but luckily, we all escaped its clutches. Definitely a very scary time…
I’m sorry that you had close encounters of the 19th kind. It is scary to watch it flow member to member. 💜🙏
I hope it never gets any closer, for every one of us!
I agree!
Yes, my future daughter-in-law had it and now my son has it, I’m not too scared except he has bad lungs to start with, so I hope he gets over it soon. Now my other son who is temporarily living with them, his girlfriend might have it. It’s made the rounds at my best friends house too. I’m hoping with my 87 yr old dad living with me, we stay healthy!
I feel you. As it goes through the younger generation there is a bit of worry, but not my generation and older. My future daughter-in-law’s mother is worried she’ll get it. I pray your son gets well and lungs intact. And I hope your home stays safe and your dad not only stays safe but you all find answers for his better health. 💜💜💜🤗🙏
Thank you so much, you take care! 🤗
Thank you for the group hug, it’s much needed. I hope all your family get through all these stressful times. I also hope your daughter in law is on the mend soon 💜
You’re welcome. And thank you. I hope they will all survive. I’m fairly confident they will. But you know, you’ve been through this. It is scary. I’ll pass on your good thoughts to them.🙏💜😘
Thank you , we have been through it too so sending our love 💜
