14. My daughter lives 2000 miles away in Albuquerque, NM.

Wed Jul 29, 2020, 03:07 PM

Jul 2020

Usually by this time of the year we would have visited her once and she would have also come back to New York State once. Not this year.
We do talk ever evening, and it's evident she is feeling the strain.
My wife and I have also not visited with a single relative since the Christmas Holidays.

That's the thing we miss the most...no human contact with our daughter and our extended families.

Flush the turd on November 3rd!
