                      | Hi penpals, I have had lung cancer and remain with only 1 full lung and 1/4 of another. Because of this I need to remain extemely careful not to contact this Coronovirus. As of now, please don't get offended, but need to drop out of the penpal letters. I'm afraid of even touching my mail at this point. As soon as this virus is over, I would gladly continue with you ladies. I'm sorry. Please keep safe. Love you all

                      | Joan, My heart is with you. I don't pen pal but understand your situation. Due to previous health issues my immune system isn't that great. Its hard because I am a hugger.
 
 Hope this CV thing goes away soon and you can get back to what you love. Best wishes.

                      | Joan, my heart goes out to you. Please stay safe during this time. It’s so sad and scary at the same time. I have been limiting what I have been doing so that we can stay home and safe as well. Hopefully this will all pass soon.

                      | Hi Joan, 
 I think I need to clarify. I am ok now, but with the pandemic I have to not hug people for right now. When this virus is over I will be back to bear-huggin everyone.
 
 Years ago when I was really ill I had to live like it was 2020.

                      | Hi Dianna, I don’t think it’s the virus. I’m just not feeling 100%. I’m just keeping aware of how I feel. I did receive your card. I always enjoy hearing from you.

 I open our mail outside, throw away envelopes and then wash my hands, we are trying to be as careful as possible as well.  Hugs!
