The Lady-Links have managed to stay connected to their dear friends even during this time of COVID restrictions, and that’s something to “hoot” about! Because of following best safety and health practice restrictions, our in-person visits to those sweet ladies with various types of cognitive decline that we call dear friends have been cancelled. However, we are “wise” enough to know that remaining in touch is very important during this time of what can be considered as social isolation. One of our favorite ways of staying linked to our dear friends is by making crafts to send to them. We thought this owl was cheerful, cute, and colorful…three important points we look for when selecting projects to make.
We always enjoy getting together to do a craft project and, with the owl, there was talk of fall activities, decorations, and food. But in addition to that, there was talk about how we are being “wise” in continuing our commitment to bring love and laughter into the lives of our dear friends, even COVID style. That is so important, especially during this time when we can’t make visits to our dear friends to engage them in activities they enjoy and can successfully complete. It would be easy to walk away and say that since our Lady-Links program can’t function as originally intended that we will shut down until the COVID restrictions are lifted. The Lady-Links are “wiser” than that, knowing that now is the time to stay connected more than ever and to even find things to “hoot” about!
Hoot #1: We have a craft manager who devotes many hours to getting our crafts ready to assemble and demonstrating how that should be done.
Hoot #2: We have dedicated Lady-Links who are eager to be involved in whatever way possible to stay connected to our dear friends.
Hoot #3: All of our Lady-Links are very careful to follow the health and safety guidelines required during this time of COVID.
Hoot #4: We have received such encouragement and support from our community and from the husbands and/or caregivers of our dear friends regarding our efforts to stay connected COVID style.
A wise old owl came to say
“A visit to a friend would be nice today.”
Then COVID yelled loudly, “That’s not okay.”
But the Lady-Links said, “We’ll find a way.”
So they made and sent crafts without delay.
Causing the wise old owl to say, “Hoot hoot hooray!”
