I'm so sorry you have to spend the...Hi Brenda. I'm so sorry you have to spend the holidays alone. This is a difficult year for many, isn't it? I feel blessed to be able to have my daughter come home for the holidays. She has stayed in her apartment for the last nine months, leaving the building only once when she had to go to her office to clear out her desk and another couple of times when she had to evacuate when the fire alarm went off; she's had her groceries and other items delivered. I have left the house only to attend medical appointments and to pick up groceries, curbside, and drop off some food to friends and neighbors. So, when my daughter's friend offered to drive her home for Christmas, we figured it would be safe enough to be together. Now that she is home, we will be sheltering in place, together (although I might drive to drop off some Christmas gifts, later this week).<br /><br />Thank you so much for commenting, Brenda.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-37427814963629266682020-12-21T08:32:13.112-08:002020-12-21T08:32:13.112-08:00What a blessing to have your daughter home for Chr...What a blessing to have your daughter home for Christmas.
