I just want to cry.

I live in a small apartment complex. The young couple across the way had their first baby a week ago. I just saw a couple about my age knock on their door,the blinds opened and the older man grabbed a snow shovel to clear a short path to the window. Just to see their granddaughter!

It's just the reverse of visiting grandparents through a window. Fuck Trump for putting multi-generations through this insanity. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

She told my sister she enjoyed my daily up dates on the latest trumpshit. Mom would not have lasted long without daily in person visits.

How strong you have to be...to be able to send your support only from a distance. There are so many like you. All good wishes go your way, that you may send your love to your dear brother...

In assisted living. I couldn’t go see her at the end because of fucking Covid. I’m afraid this will haunt me forever.

I am sure she knew in her heart that you were there for her. We all feel that support in spirit, and love can overcome any obstacle. She knows how you feel and would wish to spare you this heartache. I send love and healing to you and your dear mom...

We gave up vacations so we could drive to Maine every other month to see them....have not been there since February. Our kids in Cleveland are only two and a half hours away and we have socially distanced with them 3 times. This is just about killing me.

Because we are stronger and smarter than the Dipshit.
All he knows how to do is issue orders for someone else to fix It, make it go away. All the lawyers in the world can't make this go away. WE will listen to the scientists and doctors.
