Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
I went for a walk with my friend today and we were talking about the grandmother delima. She has a six month old granddaughter, and I have two grandsons completely unvaccinated, so not only do we not get to see each others grandchildren, but we must avoid each other if either of is possibly exposed to covid. I haven't seen her granddaughter in months, and she hasn't been able to be around me at times because either she or I might have a possible exposure, and we're awaiting the results of tests. Since my two grandsons had RSV for a couple of weeks, and I didn't want to risk giving it to her granddaughter, We had to be careful and wee now wear masks when we walk. Only two of my grandsons are unvaccinated, and one lives two states away, but that one little guy rearranges my interactions dramatically.
My friend was looking forward to her childhood friend and husband visiting when they were down here to visit their daughter and granddaughter, but the granddaughter then the daughter got covid, so my friend couldn't see them. They flew back early. It's all so complicated.
But we all choose our grandchildren over friends, though that leaves us without all the support we could have. I'm hoping for a vaccine for 2-5 year olds soon. And not just for my sake but for their paarents' sakes.
