Dear Ted #37

I don't know what you thought the apocalypse would be, but it is nothing at all like I figured it would be.  I mean, I expected zombies, nuclear bombs, Yellowstone blowing up, meteor hitting the earth.  Who knows.  But, a virus originating in China from a person eating a bat raw is not what I expected. 

I never expected that we would have power, running water and all the  luxuries, let alone internet.  I guess that may be why I'm actually ok with this whole apocalypse thing.  Other than I'm very scared about any of our family getting this horrible virus. 

We are pretty much locked away.  I go out to go to work and the grocery store.  I try and go once a week on a visit with Crystal and family and Raja and family.  But, we sit outside and there are no hugs.  Can you imagine???  I cannot hug our grandchildren.  It is horrible!!!!!  KayeLynn goes to work and home - and she does the social distance visits with me. 

The schools have been out since mid-March.  They aren't going back in.  There are no proms, no graduations, nothing for this class of 2020.  Kids are being taught at home by their parents and an app called Zoom where the teachers can kind of teach.  This is the same all around the country.  So Randi is teaching Lydia and Dee is teaching Gabe and Cash. 

I really honestly have no idea how you would have done with all of this.  Either you would be going to all of the stores available and stocking up on toilet paper, hand sanitizer, Spam and flour.  Or you would have just taken it in stride.  I just don't know.  I just don't think you were a take it in stride sort of guy.  And I honestly don't know how we would have gotten along.  Because I worry you would have been like those weirdos that are protesting. 

I don't know how long this will last.  I just want to be able to hug my family. 

All I can say is this shit is crazy!!!

Dear Ted - #70 - Two years

Well, it's been two years. I can't even believe it. I worked all day and kept my mind off things. Since being home, it's not as easy. I love you more than you'll ever know.

Dear Ted #41 - Memorial Day 2020

Well, today was Memorial Day.   I missed you like crazy for crazy reasons.   The breaker kept popping when we were trying to fill the pool.  I had no idea how to fix it.  Thank goodness Raja kind of remembered what you had done.  I had to go down there more than once, since it had popped and I didn't know it.   It's been crazy without you.  I missed my little lifeguard.
