Look, I'm going to try to be overly judgemental here. But, please, do what you can to keep you and your family and loved ones safe.
Confirmed cases are rising across the country, as is the number of deaths. We may not have yet hit the peak, and bad behavior at Thanksgiving could make it even worse.
Obviously, this should not be the year of large, maskless gatherings held indoors with people in close proximity.
I can't over lecture because we will have some small gatherings, but we are using every precaution that we can.
This morning, we will have brunch with Alison's father and his wife. It will also be attended by Alison's stepsister, and their toddle son. It will be outdoors, with separate tables and masks as much as possible. These are all people we have been around before.
Thanksgiving Day, my middle son, Doug, and his beautiful spouse, Paige, will be at my house for a brief visit. They will be our only visitors. The work from home, and have used the utmost caution, and we will continue to do so as they visit us.
After Thanksgiving Day, we may have a visit from Alison's Mom, Rose. She wears a mask and will sit more than six feet from the rest of us. These are tentative plans. If she does not feel comfortable, we will send her food, and Alison will visit her. Alsion has been around her more often than the rest of us.
Is this a perfect plan? I don't know. But I daresay we are using more caution than most.
Until a vaccine becomes common, we still have a few more holidays to get through. If we can just be cautious a little while longer, I think it will pay off in the health and well-being of those around us.
Stay safe.
Love,
Tom, Alison & Benjamin
