I missed posting yesterday but it's ok. Not going to beat myself up over it.
Back today with a story you couldn't make up if you tried.
As per our 'new normal,' we went on a family walk this morning. We wandered around our neighborhood, completing our usual loop. It was nice to see other people out and about, waving and saying, "Hello!"
And then we came across this couple at an intersection - on the opposite side of the street. Once they spotted us, the man grabbed the woman's arm and they both froze in place, waiting to see what we were going to do. I felt bad because they both looked panicked but didn't say a word.
My little family quickly hustled around the corner and down our street, never getting within 50 feet of the couple. I hope they are okay and safe but the experience left me a bit sad.
This lingering feeling of sadness hasn't let go yet...I mean, were they truly scared of us? Or were they worried about infecting us? Who knows.
I'm trying to do my best to live in love and faith in all this - some days it's easier than others.
