re: A pandemic love story you haven’t heard before: Parents and their adult children

Nearly every evening after dinner, Mary and Melissa Anderson walked together along the rural road stretching out from their home.
The one-mile journey amid groves of walnut trees became a safe space for mother and daughter. The walk was always the same, to the nearest stop sign and back, but the conversations ranged wide and deep.
“I don’t know anybody like I know Melissa,” said Mary, 58. “You raise your kids to grow up, and somebody else gets to meet them like this, as adults. But now I get to know her like this.”
I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday that worked remotely during the pandemic. He's single and decided to save on rent by moving into his dad's massive house in our hometown.
He told me that he's about to move out and back to his own place, but he enjoyed being able to reconnect with his aging dad.

I’ll say the pandemic brought my parents and I closer then we probably ever have been. I live in my own place in the same community but I still make efforts to see them probably 2-3 times a week at least. My dad lost his job due to this bullshite and it’s been really tough on him not to find anything yet (worked in sales for a major corp) the pandemic and all its gives me more motivation to make sure I’m constantly calling and asking if he wants to go out to eat/golf/watch a game. If your parents are still around, don’t hesitate to give them a call/go see them if you can.
