Visiting with Robert

Last evening we were able to FaceTime with Robert.  I'll be honest, it was really nice to be able to do that.  We text often, and Thursday evening he and I even chatted on the phone, I enjoyed being able to see him.  At the same time, he looks so tired that it is very worrisome.  I'm sure he is fine, it's just as a mom it is my job to worry.  Thomas and Catherine especially enjoyed being able to chat with him.  It was only about 20 minutes, but we were able to see the room he is in, and just communicate together as a family for a few minutes.  I understand this is our new normal, but it makes me miss the family times with all five of us.  At the same time, so many of the times with Robert living under our roof were less than great, and this is better for all of us.  Most importantly, he is exactly where he wants to be right now, and I'm very grateful for that.
