Library
"I want to read a book at the big playground"
"Let's go to church"
"I want to swing TOGETHER"
"I want to go see Patrick and Miles at school"
Me too, dear. Me too.
Me too, dear. Me too.
Sandwiches
Now I get it. "The sandwich generation." I'm not quite there yet (heck, I'm not even 30 yet) but this COVID-19 thing has revealed a lot about what my parents can and can't do. Can Do: Garden easily and efficiently (seriously, Nainai has a little tin foil tent thing in her house where she's growing seedlings. It's amazing) Weather this storm financially (good job Yeye) Entertain themselves with no social lives Can't Do (at least not safely): Go grocery shopping in-person (arguably too much risk for a couple of 60 year olds) Automate online deliveries It's humbling and perhaps a taste of what is to come in the next 10-20 years.... Thankful to be alongside them for the wild ride though.
