Surprise

Keep it short and clear.

Merely stating the feelings.

The magic of speech

Has seductive ring to it.

Meet someone who is in grief.

Those in grief can possibly really be wanting human contact. And then this is so true!

Thanks for your feedback Andrea, In general, the more people we interact with during these hard times, the more closely we interact with them, and the longer that interaction, the higher our risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. Take care, Andrea.
