and i can only see him outside if i have had a covid-19 test that came back negative in the last two weeks. That means it will be window visits. My dad and i are not good on the phone. I miss him. He says he is sort of happy. He misses us but especially his friend and caregiver who was with me doing the outdoor visit last week. I thank the ancestors that the city run nursing home is so strict. But i miss him terribly. We all do. I cannot imagine if this goes on for another year. At least nobody i know has gotten sick. That is a blessing.
