@gingerw , hello from a safe distance! I am sitting here at Taco Mama's, where I just had a delicious burrito bowl. The only real carbs were in a few little black beans.

My sweetie is undergoing surgery, again, to place a drain into the pericardial sack. They are updating me every hour or so. This has been a sensory issued person's nightmare. Construction is going on, and it is so loud. The parking garage is creepy.

But my faith is greater than the creepy parking garage. My love for my husband is greater than the pain of walking forever with my cane in the heat so I don't lose my parking spot. My hope is,steadfast, because I have friends like you who have said I can be strong when I need to be.

Autism does not go quietly away when under pressure. But it has learned how to make the best of a hard situation. And to practice mindfulness and self care.

I am alone, because only one person can be with him. All thanks to Covid19.

Just checking in.
Thanks for befriending this Autie.
Love and light,
Mamacita Jane

@mamacita, I was just thinking about you and voila you post an update. Thank goodness you have your years of practising mindfulness and self care to help you through times like these. Your family's health issues started long before COVID. This has been a long marathon for you. Who do you go to for strength, comfort and just to be able to let go for a minute?

I'm so sorry that the love of your life is going through yet another procedure, @mamacita. I do hope this one is helpful to him. Be courageous my dear friend. This too will pass. Love, light and peace to you!

It is so good to hear from you @marmacita despite your sad news. Your feelings for your husband are so sweet. I'm still in love with my husband of 39 years. It must be torturous, your long journey with him and your daughter. You are a strong and powerful woman, relay on that! I'm wondering how your daughter is?
