First person you’re going to visit as soon as it’s safe

[Acinom]

My parents. And my newborn nephew. And the newborn nephew that was born last night.

People visit people? ... the introvert asks.

Omg. I was thinking the same thing
...while trying to come up with an answer...and drawing a blank. I was like....my dentist??? My eye surgeon?? Both appointments are on hold indefinitely and I need them both, so it will be great when I can finally see them!

 

[Austina]

My son, haven’t seen him since 30th December.

 

[Missy]

My mother is in critical condition in another state in an ICU, my father is alone a long way away from me with early dementia caring for himself, my 97 year old grandmother is stuck in a nursing home and has had no visitors and doesn't have a phone where she is and my 94 year old great aunt is also in another home in a different region in lockdown.....

If I leave where I live I cannot get back here again because of current state laws.

@arkieb1 I am so sorry you and your family are going through this and sending so many good thoughts your way. Praying your mom makes a full recovery and that your grandmother and aunt remain well.

 

[Missy]

My son, haven’t seen him since 30th December.

I hope you get to see him as soon as this pandemic is over and it is safe to do so and in the meantime I know it brings you comfort to be able to talk with him and see him via facetime/zoom etc. Hugs to you @Austina. Looking forward to happier times and being able to see our loved ones in person again.

Yup, need to see my endocrinologist, rheumatologist, dentist, internist (all appointments need to be rescheduled as I had these all scheduled for April...April was going to be a busy doctor month for me) and Greg needs to desperately see his urologist. Never thought we would be anxious to see them lol and oy.

Oh my gosh, congrats @Acinom on your nephew's birth! Mazel Tov!

NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN! FIRST PERSON I WILL SEE IS MY BABY! MY 28 YR OLD BOY IN BROOKLYN, NY

And let me tell you Brooklyn cannot wait for your visit @Tekate Great Kate!!!!
(((HUGS))).

 

[Missy]

We are all feeling this keenly. Across this miles, (Clean) hands out in friendship and solidarity. WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS!

Amen to that sister. Yes we will! (((HUGS))) to you Sharon!

 

[Missy]

Although we have broken up, I still have feelings for my ex-gentleman friend.

He remains as one of my closest friends and confidante, as well as a regular drinking buddies, and we would call on each other if we need help etc...

We continue to communicate during lockdown, and he is in my thoughts a lot lately.

I just want to give him a big hug, to let him know how much he means to me, and don't care if the feelings are not reciprocated.

DK

I get that. At times like this anything else seems petty. What matters are connections and love and human decency and caring. That is the crux of life IMO and anything else falls by the wayside as it rightly should. Hugs to you @dk168

 

[Missy]

I’m going to visit my cousin who’s also my bestfriend. We’ve been pretty much inseparable before the lockdown. Since he’s unable to go out and buy food for him and his wife since the lockdown. I’ve been sending food over to him. And we’ve been using facetime every night. It would wonderful to see him and his wife after the lockdown in person which is in about a month or so.

That is wonderful you are seeding him food. He is lucky to have you as you are him and one day you will see him in person again and I know that day cannot come soon enough.

 

[Missy]

We're going to do a in person girls night out. We've been doing them virtually (lol) thus far which has been fun.

Sounds like fun. I have yet to do a Zoom call which my friends are trying to get me to do...I think I should explore that as it sounds like a great way to keep connected despite the quarantine. Glad you are enjoying your virtual calls @Arcadian.

 

[Missy]

My parents. We were living with my dad while preparing to build our first family home but when we discovered that his workplace only regarded the social distancing laws as a recommendation and not compulsory - we realised my father's house probably wasn't the best place for us to be isolating with Finn. So we went to my wife's sibling's house as most of them are actually isolating elsewhere and only MIL is there at the moment.
My sister was supposed to come down and see Finn this weekend but interstate travel is currently banned so that's really sad for us too.

I actually want to go fishing more than anything right now but unfortunately it's been banned in our state

Hugs @jordyonbass I know this is so tough and I know how badly you want to purchase your home and do all you can for your family. That day will come and in the meantime you are with the ones you love and that will get you through.

 

[Missy]

People visit people? ... the introvert asks.

Haha I never thought I would miss seeing people but I do. And I miss the physical connection of hugging my friends and family.

 

[Missy]

HI:

My Mother and sisters. Weird we are not there now visiting this weekend for Easter. I'll just cry in my cheerios now.

cheers--Sharon

Hugs Sharon. I hope the Easter holiday is as good as it can be and that seeing them on FaceTime or Zoom or however you communicate holds you til you can hug them in person. In the meantime I am sending you so many virtual hugs. Can you feel them? (((HUGS))).

 

[Missy]

Haha that’s me!

Well. I guess I’ll see my spouse. He’s alright by me. :p

I think of you and Shale and how selfless you are having your DH stay with his parents safe away from potential infection. Stay safe @MakingTheGrade and hugs to you and Shale.

 

[Missy]

My nieces! They are the closest I’ve ever gotten to having kids and I love them like crazy. Gosh, I miss hugging them and laughing with them and holding hands with them. We always have a big Easter dinner and it sucks knowing we won’t be doing that this year.

I know, I miss my nieces so much too. I spoke with the youngest one on the phone yesterday and she is such a love. Truly a sweetheart and wise beyond her years. I love my nieces and it hurts not being able to hugs and kiss them.

 

[Missy]

The bartender at my favorite Mexican restaurant where I shall order 2 (for starters) super sized top shelf margaritas.

Just for you @Matata

Since I don't know your preference here it is both ways.






Cheers.

 

[Missy]

My parents!

Hope you get to see them soon and that they remain safe and well. XO.

 

[Missy]

my son, daughter in law and almost 6 month old grand daughter

Hope that day comes soon and that they remain safe. Hang in there. Hugs.

I woke up in the middle of the night as it was too hot, ventured into PS, saw this thread, read it, and was in tears after finishing my post.

The lockdown is making me more emotional for certain.

Stay safe and stay positive everyone - we will get through this eventually.

We don't do zoom but use GoToMeeting...lol I use it for business which I love the security of it, so we talked about it and purchased another "Line" just for our get togethers. Much more secure than zoom though not cheap.

State of FL had lots of issues with zoom for classrooms with people hacking into it and showing **** so they're moving away from that platform. Sucks that people would do such a thing but some people think its funny to do that. Its not its gross but hey...

@dk168 love to you. I think many of us are a bit more emotional these days given the situation we're in, its not a surprise to me and we're all going to come out different from this with a new normal. My current normal is dry ass hands, I hope that changes a little...lol

 

[Missy]

I am going through moisturizer at an alarmingly fast rate lol.

Wow, like they have nothing better to do. SMH. Thanks for the info. Right now I am just so old school and prefer phone calls. On land lines. LOL I am hopeless. What can I say. I have to do my first "face to face" video call Monday with a new rheumatologist and I am nervous. Doing it through the NYU portal so I am not concerned about security but I just don't like phone calls where we can see each other.

He can’t leave the house because his wife has a heart condition something congenital. He can’t afford to catch covid and to pass it on to his wife with the underlying health condition. So I send food over to them.

That is what puts the humane in human. Helping our fellow neighbor, family member and even stranger. If everyone could do their part we would all be in a much better place. And I do see that happening all over. It warms my heart. Makes an unbearable situation that much more bearable.

Yes sista! Much needed and thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mom2dolls]

My nephews and niece. They are just like my children and my heart aches not being able to hug them and play with them. We FaceTime often but it’s just not the same. I took Easter baskets over to them while they were napping. If they hear the ring doorbell go off, they run to the gate yelling Auntie! Uncle!!

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

I don't really "visit" people often anyway. My Mom comes by still but we chat outside and don't hug/touch. What I miss most are my students! There will be a lot of hugs when school resumes.

 

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

My mom is living with us recovering from surgery, and I'm so thankful that she's here with me and not at her house 4 hours away. My husband and sons are safely under my roof too. I feel for those of you separated from children and parents, that would be difficult.

So the person I miss and can't see is my 95 yr old grandma, in a nursing home with no visitors allowed out in Ca. I talked to her yesterday, she is so bored and wanted to know when I was coming to see her again!
Soon Gram, soon as I can!
