Our family did Zoom last night, and it was so wonderful to talk to and see each other all at once. We tried playing an animal guessing game, but that was too easy, so we switched to movie titles. We did it like charades, and it elicited lots of laughter. My grandkids had already been tucked in bed, except for our granddaughter, almost 12, who participated with her mother. Afterwards, I felt blessed to have these amazing grown kids and grandkids, and that we are all TRYING SO HARD to support each other, be careful of each other's health, and show our love in all possible ways. I went to bed happy, with the worry shoved to the side.
Yesterday my husband and I also ate lunch in the backyard with our younger son, his wife and 11 month old grandson; staying carefully 6 feet from each other, bringing our own sandwiches, and basking in a warm afternoon. And we didn't talk about the coronavirus, just shows we'd been watching and NORMAL everyday things. Watching our grandson take his first step was a bonus. And he was entertaining us by putting rocks in a basket, climbing the stairs to the upper part of the garden with a parent behind him, and "talking" nonstop. Oh, joy!
