(1,040 posts)1. When he got to "so far away from home" ...
... I just couldn't.
As some of you know, my son is in Brazil and now confirmed COVID-19 positive. He can't come home. Today wasn't a good day. 103 fever, 2 breathing treatments and oxygen. I keep telling myself it doesn't matter that he's 5200 miles away -- if he were here they still wouldn't let me see him in the hospital. It doesn't help.
Paul Simon is a national treasure. Thank you for posting this.
