...like a rudderless boat...

Wholleyhellwtff November 27th, 2020

Yesterday was supposed to have been a day where my family got together, small fashion like, doing it smart and limited. It all fell apart. I was and am devastated. And now I'm torn. We have two local households and were going to keep it small and intimate, keep the risk level down. We have several high risk folks (including me), that we are trying to keep isolated from the local viral explosion. My daughter is a front line medical worker at a local hospital that is overflowing. Not thinking, she made a poor judgement call and decided she was bringing her new boyfriend to TG dinner, which effectively killed it before it even started. She's young, is fatigued and wasn't thinking. She gets it now, but was upset yesterday that we all cancelled as a result of her decision. I was devastated and inconsolable for most of the evening. I know my pain is a selfish one, I'm not looking for pity. I just needed to put this out there.

I've had more experiences like this than I would have thought possible at the beginning of this pandemic.

The betrayal and self centeredness still hurts terribly each time.

I'm really sorry this happened to you.
