Hey Claire!!!
I hope you’re weathering this crisis well. I got your friend request, and I just wanted to let you know why I’m back online after having deleted my account last year.
With both of Kev’s and my sets of parents on opposite sides of the country, we are heavily feeling their distance through this thing. They are all older now, and they aren’t reacting to the news in real time.
I created this facebook account just so our nuclear families can have easier communication and familiarity with each others’ situations as this pandemic progresses. I’m now realizing that I have to be the one responsible for their well being, and it’s on me to respond to their needs in an emergency.
So, I have to decline your friend request on this platform, because the only people who should be able to view the data we exchange on my page should be my family. I want it to eventually be a tool we can use to coordinate people in the event of an emergency, so I have to curate my friends list in a way that would make our family feel comfortable sharing.
I’m keeping all of my friend-related content to Instagram, so that’s where you should follow and engage me! And we’ve got a couple weeks or months of social distancing ahead of us, so maybe we can also find time to video chat sometime 
Take care of yourself, lady.
Talk soon!
