Thankful for the little things

It’s important to be thankful for the little things at this time. The one thing that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the Reid family is more time together.

“This whole shelter-in-place, I was telling some friends that I have not seen [Andy] this much in a row ever,” Tammy said. “Like in our whole Married life. I mean he gets five weeks off for our Summer vacation. I’ve seen him for five weeks but this is, what are we going on eight weeks or something? It has been crazy. I’m like, ‘I can’t believe I’ve seen him this much.’ So we’ve enjoyed a lot more dinners together, which we don’t typically get to do. We’ve DVR’d a lot of shows that we enjoy. . .  It has been very different for us but enjoyable to hang out together. We get done after dinner and just sit like old people and watch TV.”

“We are old people,” Andy chimed in.

This just goes to show you the hard work and dedication that Andy puts in and the type of separation that football families are routinely challenged with.
