On top of all of the previous disappointments associated with the ongoing pandemic, a week ago we learned that my husband’s oldest brother has been diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. It’s heartbreaking for the entire family and doubly worrisome with COVID-19 still rearing its ugly head here, there and everywhere. His siblings and in-laws want to see him, hug him and reassure him. But can we? Should we? Is it safe for him? For us? If he chooses to undergo treatment, will he be isolated due to the virus? Will he fight for his life with only strangers at his bedside? Right now, it is all too much to process. 2020 has definitely been a year of heartache and sorrow.

I'm still just home with my husband. I haven't seen another human other than from a large distance. My husband's full immunity kicked in yesterday. So we're both VERY happy about that. I don't have my 2nd Fauci ouchie yet, so I'm running a bit behind. However, I'm making lists of places I'm planning to go as soon as my time comes! One happy bit of news is that my older sister has made airline reservations to come visit us in May. So there is optimism in the air.
