Thank god for technology! I’m finding it really tough being away from my family and sad this is how my daughter met her baby brother. To any other broken families I feel your pain and it’s killing me being apart from my daughter and family for so long, especially at this special time. BUT we all need to take social isolation and social distancing seriously and it’s a sacrifice we have to make to save lives.
