My Mom helped me out of bed kind of early Sunday morning after my really bad Saturday night. My entire house wakes up early now we have a puppy. It was cooler in the morning so I was more comfortable. Something I witnessed that was truly heart-warming was that my Mom spoke to all of my brothers before 11 am. They all called her and she was elated to speak with each of them. She put most of them on speaker because she was doing things in the kitchen as I tried to wake up and let my body, “Thaw out.”
I half-overheard the conversation she had with my brother, Dave. He is a police sergeant in Detroit. My Mom asked about how work was the night before because he works midnights. I heard both of them laughing which I liked to hear as was still somewhat incoherent.
He talked about issuing citations to a lot of people loitering in groups. Deaths are rising in do United States and Michigan exponentially so I think that that fact had something to do with my tears the night before. My Mom asked about these young people who were loitering and the fact that they could spread the virus to vulnerable people in their houses.
Dave said that he didn’t care because, “My two vulnerables are safe in a house.” He was talking about my Mom and me! We both have been holed up in my house since the middle of March so my hair is long and my eyebrows are bushy but both of us are safe. I smiled to myself with my eyes closed as I tried to wake up because, Sean had taken Leia out to the yard and my Mom and I were really safe.
