Welcome to #wednesdaywalk a great break to take time to be with your Dad, still healthy to go walking at his age, pity you will miss his birthday.
Every moment counts, each step shows us something different.
Thanks for sharing the city of Melbourne and have a wonderful day, Stay Safe!
Thank you Joan and I'm so sorry that I haven't responded to your comment earlier as it much have fallen through the cracks (the memory lapse/ the time lapse/ the missing sock universe), so no I'm not ignorant- Somehow I just missed it, I'm so sorry!
Unfortunately dad was not walking with me as he can barely walk and he's in another state and I'm not even allowed out of my home because of strict lockdown, but I go for a walk and call him, take photos while I talk to him, tell him what I'm taking the photos of, so then when I do see him I show him those photos.
I'm not sure if you saw my post on the 25th, but it was his 85th birthday so my blog that night was a tribute to him specifically and all families in general, so here's the link to that as there's a few photos on there of him and us and he was a handsome young many back in the 50's.
I can see why mum was smitten for 60yrs. https://peakd.com/hive-155221/@chocolatescorpi/day-55-and-here-i-am-alive-on-hive
I hope that you enjoy this post and once again I'm so sorry that I missed your comment earlier!
I hope that you are well and are safe.
I look forward to speaking with you again soon and I promise I'll be on the lookout for your reply so I don't miss it again!
With Dad unable to get out and about this is a wonderful way to share what you doing and seeing. Lock down has made elderly people feel very lost and extremely lonely, keep doing what you do to make virtual time together meaningful.
We managed to eventually get to a park walk last weekend, first time since end March, it was exhilarating, dogs were ecstatic going out again. Hope life comes back to a little of normal soon.
Life does get the better of us, no need to apologize, wishing you a wonderful day.
Yes, that right, the elderly are suffering without being able to have viosits form their families. I have printed out a bunch of short stories and poems that I wrote years ago and today I have organised them into nice new PINK folders to send to my flatmates 87ry old mum in Sydney and another freinds 93yr old mum here in Melbourne, so they can have a read of something fresh and give them a giggle hopefully.
The 4 stories that I wrote for the Featheredfriends contest are in there too!
I think life afetr lockdown will end up ebing a completely new normal and lets hope that it become better than it was before lockdown.
So glad that you got to get out and enjoy a walk.
I am too tomorrow, so I can go to the post office to send the folders away.
Anyway, take care and speak soon.
