Has Lockdown bought you closer to your family.

Not particularly. Haven't seen our family since Christmas - we know they care but both are grown men with families of their own who live too far away to visit (well the other side of the world in one case). They keep in touch via WhatsApp to check we're ok and vice versa. My SIL and her husband are probably the ones who we have missed seeing the most as we used to meet up regularly for tea. She's very excited at the prospect of a garden visit although as BIL is shielding it will be a very guarded visit.

You see all these loving families torn apart by not being with each other and it's so moving. Has the lockdown shown you how much your children really care? Are there those who felt their children didn't care enough and were isolated and lonely.
