Have no idea when I'll be able to visit my children and grandchildren in England. But yes, my hugs with my son here in this country felt great for both of us. Amazing how a hug can lift the spirit. Thank god for children. Mine really are my best friends and no matter how much I did that screwed them up, they forgave me. Reflecting on that, guess I forgave my parents too, but it took me until I was much older, like close to when my dad passed honestly.

Have you considered webcam with them in the meantime @willow ? Not the same by far. But is well worth thinking about. I see my lad end of next month. At least I'm hoping so. I've just messaged saying to save some calories for ice cream and some things extracting info sneaky like and he just got back and said he'll move his treat day to day we agreed 😎
My Sister was in a huff with my Dad when he died and she didn't handle it to well. Stupid argument in some ways. She hit the bottle hard for a good few years. She doesn't drink now one bit, though.

^^ Oh yes, I do with my daughter and grandchildren, but they are very hectic since the kids wants to dominate, of course. Then my oldest son really prefers normal phone calls. My younger son who's here in Boston, we text more than anything and sometimes call.
But these are first world problems compared to so many who have no way to contact their loved ones, or lost them to this virus.
Good for your sister, @whooosh , to get over her addiction. Every one handles death differently I think. For me, my dad's death two years ago was surprisingly magical and a little like birth, honestly.
It was just my mum and me by his side when he died and he was already on life support, all but his heart, so he couldn't respond to us and seemed in a coma, but I've been told you can hear when in that state.
When my brothers arrived the next day (because there wasn't enough warning to get them here the day he passed), the magic continued and we all were in that very tender loving clear state those days through his funeral.
My mum has been so well ever since that our grieving has been minimal and I often feel my dad in my mind and heart.

I was there when my Mother decided it was time which in all fairness she did. She was on a nebuliser 3 times a day and was just tired of it. I was there when she died peacefully. She went in on the Tuesday bad, Wednesday told me she was done and stopped meds and by Thursday evening dead. she was so peaceful, though. She was only sticking around for us and in light of how she was I was glad in many ways because no more suffering.
My lad is only 4 or 5 miles away. But has his own stuff to do and I can't exactly go visit. Well, I could, but he is at his mums and don't think its fair on her for me to intrude and thats in non viral times. Different if he was a very young child then she'd be sucking it up as I would be there.
