Bonnie Seifried used to sit outside her husband’s window every day.
The nursing home where Frank Seifried lived, the Woodlands of Arnold, stopped allowing in-person visits in March — so every morning, she set up a folding chair and a polka dot umbrella under a tree outside.
Seifried sat with her husband for hours, separated by a thick layer of glass, writing out messages to him on a little whiteboard and sharing updates about their kids and grandkids.
Sometimes, she noticed, the staff wouldn’t check on him for hours at a time.
