Startling

So, Sean did not have school on Friday and he did not go out Saturday night. I have been glued to the TV and as I hear more and more, the concern for immunocompromised people, I get afraid. That’s me. I am immunocompromised. I watch TV and I am shocked and become aghast. I don’t want to get sick!

When it all started to get a Little too overwhelming, I changed the channel and watched one of my favorite movies, The Thomas Croen Affair:

Whenever I watch this movie, I fantasize and think about being that rich but also that able-bodied! But I feel that the most startling event happened to me and came early this afternoon as I ate lunch.

Sean, who was here, came into the kitchen to got himself a glass of milk from the refrigerator. I looked over at him from my corner of the kitchen and noticed him drinking his milk.

Because he did not have school Friday and did not go anywhere on Saturday, he did not shave his face. As I looked over at him, I noticed a substantial amount of stubble on his jawline and cheek which startled me the most. Amid all of the fear and uncertainty that I am feeling, the most sterling is to see visual evidence of my son growing up! Regardless of what may happen to me, I am still a mother first and foremost!
