Normally by this time in the summer I would have been at my Uncle’s house for a pool party with the entire family. As much as I miss eating burgers and playing water basketball, it is important that we stay social distancing even though it is family.
If you are missing your family and cannot see them, it is not a bad idea to give them a call and let them know you are thinking about them. I think it is especially important to reach out to your grandparents since they are most likely trapped in their houses and bored.
I try to make the effort and call my sister who moved out about once a week just to catch up with her. I am fortunate enough to have her visit us from time to time, however our weekly calls are the highlight of my week and always makes me feel better afterwards.
