This isn't how I envisaged I'd be celebrating a milestone birthday. In isolation.
The impact of co-vid19 has been world wide. "We're all in this together" has been my mantra. I have so much gratitude for the front line workers going way and beyond to keep everyone safe.
Keeping in touch with family and friends via Facetime and Zoom has been a positive outcome. Mum looks well, sitting in her room at the aged care facility. No visitors are permitted. Counting down the days when I can hug her. The screen bounces to life with two giggling, leaping grandkids, asking me to draw, read and play games. One Facetime session shared with them went on for two hours. We blow kisses and scream "I love you". Counting down the days when I can hug them. I received a picture of Dante wrapped in the blanket that I knitted. My daughter's chihuahua/pug all snug and warm. Counting down the days when I can hug him (and her).
My husband has just returned from being permitted to have a swim at Bronte. His daily ritual has been upended. We hug and feel blessed to be where we are right here and now. Turning 60 ain't all that bad! Cheers.
