But on Friday evening the family came together in a tear-jerking scene as their time apart had finally come to an end as the government eased lockdown restrictions.
Charlotte, from Kirkham, Lancs, said: “We went to pick him up and he came running at us - it was so overwhelming.
“I’ve never seen him run so fast and he grabbed on to us so tightly - I never wanted to let him go.
“It felt so amazing to hold him again and to hear his little voice.
“I missed all the little things so much, like his lovely blond curls.

“I missed him so much - he’s just the cheekiest little boy, always laughing, and always up to something.”
The emotional mom added: “My heart feels full again.”
Charlotte says that she had lost count of the days as little George had been away for so long - but that the first few weeks were agonizing.
Charlotte, who oversees seven care homes, said: “I never thought it would be this long, we thought it would be a couple weeks at most.
“This has been the longest we’ve ever been apart since he was born.
“I think the first few weeks were the hardest because it was so far removed from normality - I had no idea how to act without my little boy.
“It was incredibly difficult to adjust to not having him around.
“The days were so long so we tried to do anything we could to pass the time - we painted the fences, the garage, and we eventually ran out of things to do.
“We just needed to keep ourselves occupied.

“We have watched pretty much all of Netflix - at the moment we’ve been glued to ‘Money Heist.’
“Towards the end we were just counting the days until we could see him again, just hoping for some good news.”
She added: “I wasn’t able to concentrate at all because he was all I was thinking about, but I bought him news toys and presents. It’s been like Christmas.”
The nurse said it was the most difficult decision they’ve had to make but the easiest - as it was the only way to keep George safe.
