With Corona Virus amongst the community, we are not all able to visit our grandparents, older relatives, or family friends, although it is a time when you may be yearning to be surrounded by others. I am now restricted from visiting my 90 year old grandma. My family tosses rocks to her second story apartment, and then we chat through the window screen. When the sun started warming up, I started picking up the phone and calling my grandma instead. This is a great season to spend time asking questions you may not have had time to ask or thought of asking when life was buzzing with more activities. I have begun to get more accustomed to being patient and sitting on the phone as my grandma recalls memories of her youth and we discuss how things have changed and evolved over the years.
