That is great to hear!
My anecdotes come from friends who've had to celebrate their mom's 95th birthday outside her apartment in Missouri's heat/humidity. There is face-timing and all that other stuff, but, nothing beats a good hug.
My father died at age 97 a couple of years ago, he still lived alone in the house we grew up in, and my sisters and I have had vigorous debates on how he would have handled this whole COVID mess. He was a really independent cuss, would never get a Life-Alert because "if the army wanted him to have one, they would have issued him one". Since he started WWII in the Chemical Corps, maybe he would have been okay with a mask.

God bless your Dad. Mine is 97 as of 2 weeks ago and is livid about the China flu hysteria. It makes him furious to see what is happening to this country. So hard to watch him struggle emotionally with it all...
