3.20.20 MORNING THOUGHTS: Another day of sunshine and gratitude for it. Already thinking of the girls going home tomorrow and their parents return and how the rhythm of our days will shift dramatically. We will miss them so much. Our days have been a cocoon of the four of us in "isolation" from the world, but our world has been brighter and happier because they've been in it. Once they go home, we will be isolating alone, just the two of us, which will be quiet and sweet and I'm so grateful for my partner through everything. And I'm thinking of trying to set up a Zoom connection for family and friends.
Son Two and Lovely Fiance are home together now, as he recuperates and she works from home. Son One and Beautiful DIL will be at home tomorrow night, reunited with their girls, although DIL will likely return to work at the clinic next week where she will find a stressful environment no doubt. They are a COVID clinic and she will need to manage personnel and supplies -- a daunting task, getting worse each day.
The hardest part for me will be not seeing my family, not hugging those I love. And I am grateful that we all have each other, both close up in our own homes, and afar, with social media and technology to connect us for now.
Today the girls are helping me dismantle St Pat's Day and will be putting up Easter decorations. Then we will carry all the houseplants out to the yard to repot them. Nurturing living things is a healing practice.
NIGHT THOUGHTS: Last night of tucking the girls in and I am crying. I'll miss them so much. This has been such a sweet bonding time of memory-making together. This is their second home; they love it here and have not been homesick at all. But today they both started to feel the pull toward their own house, their mom and dad, and they are excited about going home tomorrow. My tears will fall and I will adjust, as I always do...
At least, that's the view from here...©
