Gananoque mother and daughter stay connected despite COVID-19 safety measures

Not even the coronavirus pandemic can break the bond between a mother and daughter.

Since the pandemic began, it’s been a familiar sight to see Estelle Nicholls standing outside her mother’s window at the Carveth Care Centre in Gananoque, Ont. Nicholls says she and her 88-year-old mom Jeannette Hudson have a strong relationship, and so she has been making the effort to go see her mom through the window every day since visitation was suspended to curb the spread of COVID-19.

“We are so close, we’ve had our ups and downs like anybody else … I love my mom and I know she loves me and yeah, we are close that’s for sure.”

A week or so ago, Nicholls couldn’t make it to her mom’s window because she was ill, so the staff stepped in and helped keep the two in touch by posting a video of Hudson singing one of her favourite songs.

Nicholls says her mother loves music.

Despite COVID-19 barriers, music continues to be a bond that keeps a Gananoque mother and daughter connected during these troubled times.
