Making Merry Part 2

 

Brrrr....it's been cold. That's ice I'm standing on. 



It's been one year and 2 days since I've seen Daughter and Son in Law. Yesterday we got to visit in the frosty driveway. We still had some Christmas snow left on the ground. 



We had a very socially distanced gift exchange. 



I can't wait for the day we can all laugh about how terrible this has all been. It sure wasn't today. As much as I love seeing my family I really hate it being the way it is.

    It's definitely not fun, but I am glad you got to see them even from a distance. It has been 13 months and 6 days since I've seen ANY of our kids. I want a vaccine today. Please?
    Take care Debbie. Hang in there. We'll be playing with our grandkids very soon.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    I finally broke yesterday and cried - I was on the phone with our youngest who is doing so well but for whatever reason I finally couldn't keep back some tears. Our son understands and OH was so supportive. I am truly blessed but sometimes the feelings are just so strong. So happy you were able to be with family, even in such a somewhat uncomfortable way!

    I hear you Deb. If I think about how it has been over a year now wtihout seeing zach in person, I dont know what to do. CMon vaccines. I felt sad on the Eve, but then we got zooming and it was ok.

    That looks like a cheerful, if chilly visit!

    I was sad not to see parents or in laws on Christmaas DAy, but we are all safe and well and thats what matters I guess. Glad you got to do your present exchange!

    I guess I'm relatively lucky. My daughter visited for a week in August, and I saw Seth for a couple hours in October. It's not much, though. Can't wait for spring!

    A distance visit is better than no visit! Glad you got to see loved ones!

    Wow! I don't think I could handle a distanced visit from my kids. I'd be better off with a phone call than seeing them without hugging them. You have way more willpower than I could ever hope to have.
