Dear Matthew and Toby
During the pandemic we've tried out best to maintain our connection with our family and friends, mainly through Facetime and Zoom. Matt, you have a standard Facetime with your school friends every afternoon at 4pm and you'll often chat (and use all sorts of filters like those shown below) for over an hour. You've also been playing Roblox with Ryder from next door and your cousin Harry (where you play each other online while chatting to each other on the phone). We've been holding family Zoom sessions with your dad's side of the family and we Facetime your Ma Ma and Gumps most days (even when Ma Ma is in the pool - check out the photos below!). Matt, you've also been doing Zoom speech therapy sessions with your lovely therapist Leanne, and I've been surprised how well you've paid attention in the sessions despite it being by screen.
I wanted to make sure these examples of us seeking connection were included in this blog to remind you boys of the most important thing in life (other than our health)- our relationships with others. For someone social like me, it's been important to remain connected with others and even your dad, who is a self-confessed introvert, has said he misses work drinks (work Zoom drinks just aren't cutting it apparently!).
Anyway, we're coming out the other side now, but it's still important to remember to foster relationships and love others as well as you can. You will never, even regret doing so.
Love you boys,
Mum xxx
