Confinement for how long?

It's just after 4.30 pm and it's dark outside.
I'm looking into my garden and as another day closes I'm contemplating what I have done today.
Much the same as yesterday.
Days are melting into each other and the past year has gone far too quickly.
How will we feel when we can hold and hug our loved ones again?
Will we take our freedom for granted again as before?

It's very difficult. I got in my car and drove to my son's house to drop off Christmas gifts for him and his family. We met outside, and I was wearing my mask.

I hadn't realized how very much I missed seeing his dear face until it was time to leave, and I choked up. I cry now, every time I think of it.

We could not hug, and I was disinvited for Christmas because of the virus. I think I will probably become one of those weepy old things, who cry at the drop of a hat in gratitude when her family speaks to her...🤣
