COVID is still real. There’s nothing indicating that next summer will suddenly be safe when it comes to this virus. I would love to see my extended family. Since the last time we’ve all been together, my mother has become the local family matriarch, of sorts. She’s the eldest in any case and would love to be able to see everybody, and there are children that none of us have met, but there’s no way to do this kind of thing safely, with people coming in from across the country.
