45. Not really, but I have seen him. Just haven't held him.

I have no problem quarantining, and my daughter-in-law hardly gets out at all, but for my son, it would be very tough. He's had to quarantine a couple of times because people at his work tested positive. He got tested last week and it was negative.

It's just pretty complicated. It's going to be okay. Thank you for your kind thoughts, and the hug. I'm really pretty much an introvert too, but this has been going on a long time and is a real test.

We'll be okay. We really will.
