What an exciting day it must have been! I'm sure you'll be doing everything you can to help her stay safe!
33640Toogie how exciting for all of you. Good Luck to Ashley and hope all goes well. I am sure Avery was as excited as you were. I should have been seeing our granddaughters this weekend but they are back in lockdown so we cant. I am curious as what a 'chip seal' road is. Have fun with your peas, hope you see Avery again very soon and good luck to all of you
114360Wonderful news, I know how you feel having to wait for so long I haven't seen my 4 of my grandsons since January. Hope Avery keeps well. Marian

Oh Marian, I know how lonesome you are for them. I know it is better to be safe but it's a terrible way to live.
45917313981I know exactly how you feel, although we did not have to wait 7 months to see and hug our grands. After 3 months they came to see us outside of course, but I just had to hug and kiss on the tops of their heads. Let us know how she fares with going back to school. Hugs. Nan

I will Nan and I had to laugh because it's hard NOT to hug when they run to you, so innocent of the dangers, of this disease. I told my dh early on, I was so lonesome for the kids but if we go and just see them through a window they would run out before Ashley would know we were there. So we waited.
11755Field trip! So glad you got to see her. Interesting she knows the way to the house by the sounds.
I hope the lady washed out those foot tubs first! Have fun, "Shellie."

These foot tubs are galvanized used only for gardening.
They say your hearing compensates for loss eyesight. She also loves the sounds of the embroidery machine slowing and speeding up.😃
66528Oh, Toogie - I am so happy for you and your family. I have only been able to see my older great-granddaughters once since March. It feels like it has been so long, but I would rather we stay safe, and healthy. The two older ones started school, and they did call me, but we couldn't face time for some reason. The youngest wanted to know when she could come spend the weekend.
What a blessing you have with your family.

Your youngest is like most children, not understanding the changes made. Heck it’s hard for all of us to live like this. We would love to spend more time with my brother-in-law that has cancer. Even though we still just get out for groceries every 4-6 weeks there is always a chance we could bring something in to him. His wife says at this point what does it matter but I couldn’t bear it if I unknowingly exposed him to something. Hopefully our lives can return to some form of normality soon.
I hope it was the right decision bringing Avery home. My husband was against it and although I have mixed feelings, I can understand their need to be together.
I hope your daughter is getting better each day. It was good to hear from you.
44813Something to brighten your day. I can just imagine how excited your were to be able to see Avery. Stay well. Praying that Avery will stay well
109762Great news, Toogie! I'm happy for you and all your family.
Hugs, Lidia
78093You just made my day the best ever. Hurray for you all. And we all will be praying for the health of Avery and each of you. God's protection is the best! And prayers this will all end soon. This is a terrible way to live.
168905Wonderful news! I do hope she stays well but I really understand her mamma wanting to hug her and spend time with her. I am so glad you got to see her too!
Have a blessed day!

Oh it felt good to hug her! She used to sleep with me and my husband, in the crook of my arm. I would turn my head toward her ear and she would settle down and listen. I think the hearing me breathing calmed her for sleep. It’s hard sometimes for a visually impaired/blind person to realize it’s nighttime and time for bed. I missed that girl!
