At the beginning of the lockdown adventure I bought my mother 82 to stay at my place over the QLD border. Living in a retirement village with carers my concerns were her being alone with no access to family once the border closed.
So very happily my home became her border refuge. Days became assistance in the shower,dressing,meals,mobilising now just part of the “average daily living”.
While restrictions were in place there is no restrictions to the stories and precious time a mother and daughter have shared the simple conversation and for this we are grateful.
We both celebrated a birthday 60 and 84 April and May and look forward to more fabulous celebrations together.
Multiple games of dominoes,cards,chess and bingo. Family and friends received letters,phone calls and FaceTime kept us all in contact. Wine and cheese conversation sorting the fear and unknown.
As restrictions are lifted we shall venture over the border crossing stillness.
Moving forward COVID pandemic remains a possibility but we have smiles and soap to get us through and of course each other always.
