Good morning. Monday blog. In a world when it seems everyone and everything has gone mad! Did anyone ever think, for a moment, that we would have to social distance from our closest of family members! I think back to when it started, last spring. I thought all of our holidays and special occasions would be spent together. Supporting each other through our toughest of times, seeing that empty chair where their father use to sit. Being alone in my room thinking about all of our past everything’s together! Our son was over and I started talking about Easter. He started talking about Social Distancing. I said, not from your families. But, that is what they were saying! Of course my human mind and heart felt, how am I going to get through these “firsts”on my own? Almost one year later, all of the specials still took place! Do I miss what I always considered normal, yes I do. Mom and I live together, we have not hugged or kissed. I am the one leaving the house, going back and forth, out in the public. I would not want her to get anything. My kids and my sister hug me. Grandchildren too. Rules on kissing and hugging, basic signs of love. It makes me cry! I know I am not alone in these basic human feelings. So, I turn to God continually, His promises are true, for me and my family! So thankful to have my great grandson every week. He loves hugs! It is hard to follow these rules in a hurting world. A world that needs love. I have to tell myself, don’t sweat the small stuff. We all still love each other. We are allowed to come and go with masks! I hope and pray that common sense leads the way in these areas. As always, be safe, stay safe. Have a great Monday, as you start your week. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
