Grandparents - From a Distance...

Terry and I saw our two grandchildren on our last trip to Toronto. But only from a distance... The weather was warmer two weeks ago when we were there, so we could sit outside. But in the meantime, it's gotten cooler.

Today is this little guy's first birthday.  

So glad for video-chat options, since we can't be there...







His four-year-old sister is more aware of how "different" life is because of the virus... She knows that she needs to wear a mask unless she's eating... But both she and her grandmother (ME!) had a hard time social distancing...

Like magnets, we drew closer and closer, without thinking. 

It was hard to explain to a four-year-old why she couldn't sit on grandma's lap... The grandma also had to be reminded!

I understand how the virus spreads easily at family gatherings.  Being close is so NATURAL!

We have to remind ourselves that these COVID times won't last forever - but, for many grandparents like me, they've lasted way too long already!
