Recollection of letters to friends (1)

 17 May 2021

Dear Sushila

I hope you are receiving my letters. Please let me know, so that I will be confident to write again and again! With social media, the snail mail is going out of fashion, but I am the pen and paper type, so never mind  what the world says, I am doing it MY WAY! Haha! Even the staff at my local post office commented that "people don't write letters anymore" when I asked her to check the postage to a certain country. She had to pull out a book to check! 

The  main thing now is that we are connected! How are you, dear Sushila? As the covid spread is still rampant in India, and Sri Lanka is its neighbor, please do take care. Stay home and stay safe. We in our senior years are the vulnerable ones. Go for your vaccinations once it is available. Do not wait. It is a form of protection from serious complications if one gets the covid infection.

Singapore is on lockdown again! It started from an airport employee & the cluster grew to 38 community cases yesterday! Restaurants and food courts are closed except for take-away deliveries. Schools are closed. James and I stay home most of the time. We go out only for grocery shopping. Only 2 people allowed for home visits, so I'm happy that we can still go and see the grandkids! But they, as a family of 4 cannot visit me! 

I miss you Sushila! Sometimes, I wished we could be neighbors where we can gather for a drink of wine or whiskey & sinfully enjoy a smoke or two! And of course talk to exchange news and to pour our hearts out! Wouldn't that be nice? 

Stay well, Sushila! May our good Lord bless you with peace and good health.

Love ++

Sylvia
