Dad Keeping Family Safe

July 26, 2020

A man in pajamas lies on a large bed in a bedroom with yellow walls and a large window. The window has long, dark curtains, which are drawn to allow some light into the room.
My husband has a slight fever. He is keeping himself separated from us until he can take a COVID test. I slept in my daughter’s room. He works for the Department of Water Resources as a supervisor & is essential. He has a bathroom & t.v. I take him his meals.
A young girl in a black t-shirt sits on a large leather sofa and speaks into a walkie-talkie.
My husband is separating himself from us until he gets a COVID test. My daughter missed him even though it’s only been 1.5 days. I am already tired. I gave them both walk-talkees.
