So near, yet so far

Video calls to my babies have me feeling this way. Like they are close enough that i could just reach out and touch them….except i cant.
We decided they would be safer and happier with their grandparents because of our jobs (i work for the NHS frontline in the ambulance service and hubby is in the police) So now we havent seen them for almost 7 weeks.
