A moment of silence for our loved ones who are infected by Covid.

This evening I learned from text messages that some of my relatives have Covid. My brother who is 55. A granddaughter, 15. A son-in-law, 58. All from different families.

I'm worried.

I imagine that many of you are experiencing this.

Two people in my family have COVID, and I'm waiting for the results of my test.

Best wishes to everyone who has tested positive.

To you and your family, mia
& all the families going through these trying times.

Since Xmas we’ve had 11 family members come down with Covid. Only one had to be hospitalized.
He’s young 40s with no health problems & couldn’t be persuaded to get vaccinated- Nicest guy & would give u the shirt off his back but, stubborn too. And, gets his news from Facebook 😳.

When he arrived at the hospital PO2 was 50% !! He is doing much better - 2 days in now.
Praying for him. He has a beautiful daughter
named Mia.

Light and healing to all.

It’s just a matter of time I fear. She and my son are vaxxed and boosted but they have two tiny sons. Some of their friends and her brother have it, all vaxxed, pretty sick but not in danger.

But the fact I can’t go near them if they all get sick is torture. DAMN this virus and everyone who won’t do the right thing to stop it!

My bags are packed in case they need me. I keep checking my text messages.
Best wishes to you and your family.
