Hi sweetie,
thank you so much for your kind words.
My grandmother was unconcious and they brought her to the hospital. She suffers from dementia and often doesn't remember my grandfather. She thinks she's living with a stranger. My grandfather has diabetes and isn't in good health, so he couldn't take care of her any longer. She's now in the nursing home for two weeks. Every time we visit, she wants to come home. It's so hard to leave her there. It makes me so sad.
Yes, I'm still working from home. Normally, I go back to the office in September. Until then, I work from home. It's hard sometimes, I miss my friends from work and my co-workers, but I feel a lot safer at home.
Yes, oh, I'm looking so farward to my vacation. I'll have two weeks off at the end of July. Malouke finished school on June 30th. She's with us until Wednesday. She goes to her mother from July 8th till the end of July. She will be back with us in August. I'm planning on taking an extra week off from work in August, so we can spend some time together and do some fun stuff.
Are planning on some fun stuff to do with O and N during the Summer Holidays?
I can totally understand you had to cancel all your plans due to the pandemic. It's still so scary. And the virus isn't gone, yet! We all still have to be very careful.
We try to avoid crowds as well. We don't plan on going on vacation either. It's hard though... Malouke was already bored last week.
When do they have to go back to school?
I'm so sorry to read N is still having some problems. I hope the psychologist can help her. I'm crossing my fingers for your sweet little girl!
And your beautiful little boy as well. It's great to read he's made some progress. I'm cheering for him. Way to go!! And to you too! You're such a great and beautiful mother. You can be proud of yourself and your beautiful kids. 
I saw you found some time for yourself and were able to do some scrapping! Yay! I'm happy for you. Think of yourself too, from time to time. 
Stay safe my friend.
And try to enjoy the Summer and the holidays... eventhough it will be a lot different then what we're all used to.
I'll be thinking of you and your family. Bug hugs and lots of love.

Hi sweetie,
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend. That means a lot to me. 
yes, it is really sad. When we visit her and we leave... I just want to take her home and tell her it will be alright. It makes me so sad that I can't do that. The thing is... due to the dementia, she doesn't understand what's going on anymore. She doesn't understand coronavirus or why we wear masks.
I can totally understand how you are feeling about your Summer plans. I think going to Center Parcs for a day is a great idea. But like you said... the rules are difficult. And how are people going to take distance in a swimming pool? So, yes, I feel the same way about it as you do.
And I think going to a museum and visit a castle or two are great ideas as well! Personally, I think it's even safer than going to Center Parcs.
What kind of museum would you like to visit? Something historical or science? I love museums myself and I often think that I don't visit them enough.
On one hand, you want your kids to have a fun and great Summer vacation. But on the other hand, you just want everyone to be safe. It's a thin line and it's hard sometime to find balance.
Malouke also goes back to school on September 1st. (That is, if it's safe to go).
She was home from March 14th until June 2nd. In June her class was devided into two groups. One group had lessons in the morning, the other group in the afternoon.
It was the only way they could garantee social distancing. And it was like that until the end of the schoolyear.
They don't have extra lessons in August, like N and O have. They just start on September 1st.
But how are you doing sweetie? Can you free your mind? Are you hanging in there? I'm thinking of you! 
Lots of love
Big hug
Your friend from Belgium
