“With work travel, restrictions and quarantine in #China, our family was apart for 49 days,” Mackey Frayer captioned the video. “And yes, every one of them was hard — the worry, the decisions, the failed plans, isolation. Our little guy has been brave and resilient… and this was easily the best. hug. ever.”
