My son, who is also a good son, came on Saturday. He, my DIL and my grandson (9yrs old) brought groceries. They put the food securely on my back porch and then we used our phones on speaker to visit through glass doors. I got to see them, hear how they were doing and tell them I loved them. I have had this grandson every other weekend for ten years now. This is only the second time I spent without him. We text. I will bring in the groceries next week sometime, and still wash my hands thoroughly. There is no way I will endanger anyone and especially someone I love. I am 75 and have health issues that make me high risk even for flu. My son texted all his siblings reminding them of my situation and assuring them that he will make bi-weekly visits and drop off food and check on me. Truth is I don't need anything. I know how to cook from scratch and I live alone. He just wanted to see me. He asked me to put signs on my door stating 'no entry' and extracted a promise that I will not open my door to anyone. Easy.
My ancestors were asked to fight when our nation was in danger. Our government asked them to serve their country so they marched off to foreign lands where they did not know the language. They ate strange food and contracted stomach issues that were deadly. They were shot at, some were injured, some were detained by the enemy and some were killed. They did not know how their family was doing at home. They served their time doing what they were asked to do.
My government has asked me to sit on my couch, watch movies and listen to music, cook homemade meals and stay well and comfortable in my own home. I got this!
