Thank you all so much,for sharing your thoughts with me.I only joined when lockdown started but I have taken away so much helpful information,and you have all been so kind.
I am only 58[I cant decide if that's old or young but doesn't matter I don't feel old]husband is 60 and we weren't shielding,walking daily and shopping once a week so being careful but our son aged 37 his wife and both grandchildren are,they live about a forty minute drive from us,so before lookdown we saw them every other Saturday,so today after 16 long weeks the travel restriction in wales was lifted and we were able to drive up to them.We know there is the bubble and grandparents can hug now,but my son and daughter inlaw have decided that they will continue to shield,they have not left home in 16 weeks shopping delivered and my son works from home so our visit was through a patio window with a 2 and a half year old and a six month old with our daughter inlaw our son was upstairs working that's okay hes busy hes an only child but he is a grown man so I respect his choice,it was just magical seeing the children we stayed an hour and I want to hold them but I saw them that has meant so much.They just were perfect,i don't know how long they will stay indoors and not even want to come in the garden its their choice and they are doing what they think is right for them,we have not talked about it,its not up to me to tell him what I think,i hope I have finally learnt that he is a grown up and this must be very hard for them so I will wait and hopefully go up again at the weekend just through the window is fine until they feel safe,but I saw my beautiful grandchildren and I want you to know how happy I am so thank you all.x
