From a Distance

I thought about a Saturday visit yesterday, but it didn’t set well. After a student left school with a 100.2 temperature, I didn’t feel right about sharing my germs with my father.

Do other people go through these same types of scenarios? Balancing safety and the need to see the elderly?

My father, recuperating from a recent kidney stone surgery, is struggling to stay awake during the day, although this picture, taken by my brother, indicates otherwise. He looks good!

As the month of October continues, I keep hoping that he will stay positive, remembering that his life is precious.
