Hospital deaths

In a single

Day

Who else will

Always

For what reason

Dropping by to check in on you Nev. I am self quarantined due to my lupus. I haven't left the house/yard since the beginning of March. My son has been home for three weeks now. My husband, father, and oldest son are essential workers and must be out in the poison of it every day. I haven't been able to see my daughter or grandbaby in a month ...the crazies are kicking way in! I'm prayin for ya!

I could see it coming tho.... unfortunately, I think this beast has a lot of fight left in her..... just got called away... will be back later... dont wait up for me...

Sixteenth of April, would have been my Dad:s 90th birthday. I wonder what he would make of this current state of affairs? You will remember it for your losses and I am sorry to hear of them. I fear for my mum in her nursing home and my elderly aunt in hospital. Not good places to be. The state of the nation's mental health will also take a huge bashing. Not surprised to learn that you will be back at the coalface. You will be needed, all hands. The daily toll is horrendous. How much longer before the deaths start to reduce? Keep safe Neville. Fearful times. Yes, I fear this beast.

so many dates now will accompany the thoughts of those we have lost.
Sad but true write...
Every date of this month will be thought of with gravity.
