This was the first time we've seen our son for over three months. It was a socially distanced two-lap dog walk around the park near where he lives.
Ben is learning disabled. He's thirty four, but his mental age is around five. That doesn't stop him being a loving, responsible member of his community. We paid him a surprise visit on Saturday now the restrictions have been eased and he was so pleased to show us his face-mask!
We've avoided almost all contact with family members during lock-down. One of them is particularly vulnerable and is being shielded. We so miss their hugs and cuddles. What's made it worse is seeing others flagrantly flouting the lock-down rules. However, if we can help our children, our grand-children and our community remain safe it will all be worth it in the end.
