- This is very difficult for all of us. My sister lives 5 minutes away and yet we haven't been "together" but once and that was outside more than a month ago. My brother-in-law works in the city and I just won't take the chance of being around him. I haven't seen my only son in more than a year nor any of my friends or nephew and his partner. It's a horrible situation but as @fiesty76 says, "it's difficult as the thought of having an empty chair at our next holiday gathering. I used to have a fairly large family but it is down to very few now. I don't want to miss any of them.

My sister and I visited in the entry of her home (masked) for 10 minutes when I delivered her Christmas gift. Normally our 2 families spend Christmas together, with drop ins by other siblings and cousins, so we are both sad. My brother and I live in the same small community in Texas, so are accustomed to a lot of time together - we have had only a handful of outdoor visits since April.

Especially hard was forgoing a trip to visit my husband's only sister who is 84 in Spokane this Fall and my Godmother in Yakima who is 93! We surely are hoping to be able to see them in 2021.
