From the article, “Keeping In Touch With Family Can Keep You Healthy”, it states: ‘“This idea of feeling connected becomes very reinforcing, to all of us, and it contributes to happiness, it contributes to mental health and it does contribute also to physical health,” says John Northman, a psychologist from Buffalo, NY. “It’s well known that when people feel better connected, that they feel better physically, they’re certainly less likely to feel depressed — or if they do, they’re in a better position to get out of being depressed. “Overall, it leads to a feeling of a greater degree of support and connection psychologically,” he said.’ https://www.webmd.com/healthy-aging/guide/family-support#1 My parents let me know that they were coming in the afternoon last week. I was able to give them a big bear hug and they brought me coffee. We talked outside on the bench about “stuff”. I don’t want to leave you guessing, so “stuff” just means “stuff”. Haha! They were here for a couple hours and came because we haven’t seen each other in a long time. They have been busy moving so it was actually kinda surprising. I haven’t seen them in over a year and it was nice nonetheless. Seeing them next is left in the open but I will get some concrete plans soon.
