melissatwa's Journal, 06 Apr 21

A year ago this week my daughter painted this picture as a tribute to the healthcare workers fighting to help those horribly impacted by the corona virus. I wanted to share this again and thank those who have exhausted themselves laboring to help the hurting. Thank you also to the families who love and support these workers who continue to save lives. What a horribly hard time this has been and continues to be for so many. Praying for brighter days ahead!!!!

I was able to rejoin my gym last week, and life is starting to feel a little more "normal" for me. I've seen my parents and been able to hug them for the first time in well over a year! My youngest son goes back to in-person high school part time next week. I hope you are seeing good things happen in your life too!

Hey M! Your daughter has a great talent of capturing emotion in all of her paintings especially the subject's eyes. Mega talent !

Thank you for the painting and thank you for recognizing is nurses. I am glad that things are somewhat calming down and we all continue to do the cheapest, easiest way of spreading the virus wear a mask 😷.

Thanks Melissa! Slowly opening up here. I’m between doses of the Moderna vaccine. Still waiting on my gym! I get my 2nd shot on Cinco de Mayo. I wonder if I’ll get a tequila shot to go with my COVID shot 😂

She is very talented. I love the eyes in contrast to the muted head covering and mask. Amazing!!!

Thank you all for your kind words! My girl is going through some really tough times, so your encouragement is especially meaningful right now! When she was just a little girl she was fascinated by drawing eyes... And understanding how lighting and shading changed expressions. She drew hundreds of eyes. When she began doing watercolor portraits, that allow for no mistakes, it was not as hard as it might have been to make eyes lifelike. I am so grateful to be able to use the gym and that my knee, which has been bothering me for months, is not growing worse!

Yes, Erquiaga, I also saw a sports med specialist. I went to pt three times, but it was $200 each visit 🙄 and I got a different therapist and differet instructuons each time. I've tried to manage fixing it at home with the exercises suggested, but have been really inconsistent the last few months with a lot of other things going on. I'm really glad to be working on it again, and so far I am pleased with the progress. ty!

Thank you, kattay, and everyone else who supports! 💚💚💚 I'm grateful that my daughter can paint to express her feelings. It is a "language" not so many can speak, but we can understand. ❤️
