Mar 2020

Not being able to see, hug or go places with loved ones for possibly a long time.

The main part of that for me is I have a daughter in her 40s and young grandchildren that I see and interact with regularly but social distancing, etc means no car rides or hugs and cuddles with them for a while. Hopefully we'll get through this and be able to again soon though. At least for us there's a chance. Sadly so many won't even have that.
