I so agree. I wasn’t in the position to have my mother live with me. But she did have a ‘male’ friend that she met when she was in the ‘independent living’ part of the facility prior to her moving over to the assisted living building.

He visited her everyday out on her balcony. He stood outside on a ‘landing’ close to her balcony and they could hold hands. When they allowed people into the building who were vaxxed, he was able to go in everyday and see her. They were like Romeo and Juliet! 😉💓
