taking a Covid-influenced college gap-year half way across the country from us, yet we're not going to get together for the holiday--- and yes, we miss her dearly!
Why, then?
Because it appears that effective vaccines widely will be distributed by this time next year. And, endangering one another's lives just isn't worth a short get-together. Death, after all, is permanent.
If this were a shooting war, one wouldn't think twice about the sacrifice. Yet, this is a war--- and one that has killed more Americans in 8 months than 6x Vietnam Wars in those horrific years--- and people are saying, "The hell with it, let's travel!"
I don't know how families possibly could live with the guilt, if the worst were to happen. It's just one holiday season--- and tech provides "Zoom" to lessen the pain.
