Isolation Diary: Okay, here it is straight: I love my family. I am referring to my two daughters, Jessie and Maggie, their husbands, Dean and Adam, and their sons, Duncan and Fig. (I also love my brother and his partner hereafter known as Ted and Lorraine.) I am deeply grateful that they seem to like me. Spent time with them today, our small covid19 avoidance pod. Because they are family, I forced Maggie to read aloud part of the children’s story I have written. Then, because we are family, Maggie told us a children’s story she has written. (I don’t mention the husband and father because he had to leave us 21 years ago. Love still remains) Even with this solid support……we are all just starting to go a bit crazy. This is a strong suggestion that we humans are not meant to be alone. Perhaps we are better when we …. cooperate to some degree? Adapt? Move over a little out of courtesy?
