Sometimes I don’t feel like writing. It’s not often, in fact it’s pretty rare. But I’m exhausted lately: Hong Kong has delayed their election and Mr T wants to follow suit; our TN Governor has not issued a mask mandate; and children are getting Covid-19, despite what we first heard.
Oh, and the Groom has tested positive for the virus. We were shocked, but not surprised. He and the Bride have been on the front lines from the very beginning, Caring for young and old, my daughter actually had an older couple in her ER with coronavirus symptoms. The Groom lost a 30 year old, healthy man recently.
Still, we are all sitting on tenterhooks. One of his Fellows had tested positive last week, and on Monday his symptoms began – a low-grade fever, body aches, fatigue. He is doing better now, isolating in their garage studio apartment. Every now and then he will visit with his family from his balcony, while they rock in a hammock under a tree in the yard. A reverse Romeo to the Bride’s Juliet.
And of course there’s Facetime. My daughter can’t work, my Grands are in quarantine.
Sometimes fate just throws you a curve ball. But their friends have rallied, delivering cake, wine and lovely messages. We delivered dinner tonight. And hula hoops – I thought hula hooping might help? And the Groom is working hard, despite his isolation, to get out the Vote in November.
Because this all could have been avoided if our country had a real leader.
It’s hard to let go, and let God take over. I’m praying the Bride and the children won’t be infected, that the Groom recovers soon. Sometimes that’s all you can do, pray.

Praying for the grooms healing and recovery & protection for his entire family from COVID19. I agree, what we can do is pray and vote for change this November. We all made it this far, just few more months. Stay safe. 🙏
Thanks so much. We appreciate your support and prayers. My Mother always said this too shall pass. Take good care! Chris

Thanks so much Berdelle. Your friendship means so much. Virtual hugs. Chris
You do an admirable job of sticking to a writing schedule– I have fallen down on that, finding it’s too hard finding how to write the various rages I go through,..
Praying in my way for your son-in-law’s safe healing.
Thanks Lisa. Sitting down to write at least twice a week has become an anchor in this storm. Hope you are all well xo
