Okay, so the whole COVID-19 Pandemic got to us. By that, I mean everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) came to a standstill, except for my husband's continued chemo after his 9 weeks of daily radiation. The radiation was grueling, and as I stood and watched, his energy and strength was taken from him.
A person can only worry and cry so much before the tears just stop flowing from exhaustion, and that's what happened to me. As the Pandemic, and later, Lockdown occurred, we struggled with his inability and unwillingness to go out of the house, or even downstairs unless he HAD to. He went well over a month without going outdoors, and even as he started feeling a little better, my words of encouragement fell on deaf ears.
In July through August, my two youngest, DIL, and 3 young grandchildren contracted COVID-19.Fortunately, it was a mild case, and they haven't suffered any long lasting effects from it. They also moved from an apartment in Moreno Valley to a house by Lake Perris. That's right! My youngest son and his wife BOUGHT a house! It's really nice, and located at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood.
Is September, my husband and myself quietly celebrated 7 years of marriage. I'm truly grateful for our time together, even when we make each other crazy.
Thanksgiving was EXTREMELY quiet, and finding a turkey was quite the adventure! We wound up with a HUGE 22 pounder because all the small ones had been snatched up before I went shopping. Christmas and the New Year soon followed, and before we knew it, vaccinations became available. We has our first one 6 days post-Easter, and our second one the day before Mother's Day. Later in the week, we all went out to celebrate Mother's Day INSIDE a restaurant! It was really weird after being stuck in the house for so long.
Well, that brings us to TODAY and a new entry. But I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and emails.
The Lost Wife (who is feeling EXTREMELY grateful)
