Althoug I don't usually talk a lot on the phone, I am doing it these days, since it is impossible to meet friends, who I miss a lot. Most of all, I keep in touch with my mother, who is quite old and is having a hard time, because she loves walking on the street and she became a widow (after sixty years of marriage) only a year and a half ago. To finish with, I would like to tell you that I am looking forward to seeing your faces and hearing your youthful voices again. I am also looking forward to being allowed to walk, run and fool around outdoors and enjoy the now exuberant green areas around here in total freedom.
