Have you been separated or isolated from family because of the threat of CoVid?

I miss my mom. We live 12 hours away and we aren’t flying or using buses. For health reasons, not driving either.

Yes. My parents are very elderly and I check in with them once or twice a week via phone or FaceTime. I haven’t seen my sisters since February, one of whom recovered from Covid. And I last saw my brother when I visited our parents for Mom’s birthday in July.

@bijouxbroussard I am afraid to ask, how old is very elderly? Skype, Zoom and Webex has certainly helped make this isolation somewhat bearable.

@bijouxbroussard strange times. I keep trying to gather courage to just go visit.its a rock/hard place situation. Because of the distance.

@bijouxbroussard they are certainly old, but are they in good shape? I have several friends their age that would knock my head off if I called them elderly. My golf pro is 88.

@samueltyler2 They are definitely still healthy and self sufficient. My father still drives (better than I do) and gets around with no trouble. They don’t seem like they’re in their 80s at all.

@bijouxbroussard I hope I will be that way. You have great genes.
