We all owe them so much now, and it will always be so.<br />Next time doctors or nurses threaten to strike because of their low pay and long hours, we should remember how they worked so ceaselessly during this pandemic.

Single parent, divorced, widowed. As you say. Needs must. <br /><br />However, if my mother, despite a roof over our head and food on the table, had sacrificed herself/was sacrificed for the greater good, leaving me or, more to the point, my much younger siblings well, motherless, I'd have been even more aggrieved than I would have been at her "natural" demise. It all depends, big sigh, where your priorities are. Sure, fighting disease at the front line may make you a hero (how romantic) but you'll soon be forgotten where your child/ren won't [forget]. <br /><br />It's a difficult subject, fraught on so many fronts. To put it simply, if I hadn't had the means and support of father-of-son to look after my offspring I would not have had a child. Frantic nest building or not. <br /><br />One may spin the subject further: You know, fathers drafted, going to war, whether they wanted to or not. What's a medal in absence of your, now dead, father? Hero? Bloody hell. Give me a conscious objector any time. Though, most likely, they were shunned, even shot by their own people. <br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-9897748550228872392020-04-05T15:07:14.423+01:002020-04-05T15:07:14.423+01:00Modern day Florence Nightingales.

I'm glad to hear that she's not on the "front lines" as you say but I'm sure it's still very, very worrying. You both be very careful, okay? <br /><br />An office manager at one of the hospitals where Gregg has an aquarium texted him the other day about keeping the tank going while he can't go up there, and she mentioned in passing that the local media is keeping very quiet about just how bad things are getting at the hospital. As of yesterday our state had 1917 positive cases and 40 deaths. Florence county reported 35 of those positives and 5 of the deaths. We're just getting started, too, I'm afraid.

Who do you think works in emergency and ICU? Young nurses because they have the energy required to do such a demanding job.<br /><br />As for young mothers not working, wow. What about single parents? I was a single parent until my son was five. I didn't have a choice. Divorced women? Single parents? Widows?
