Thank you! She’s a smart girl in most respects. 34. She has asthma and is afraid because of that aspect. Yes, she is doubly vaxxed and boosted, maybe even twice. She still wears her mask indoors. She knows I won’t anymore.

Everyone in our family except for her has had it at least once. Her younger brother got the 2020 version at Thanksgiving that year, and then the omicron version this past April. Our kids are spread across the country, so we haven’t been together since 2019.

I never realized she was quite this much a germaphobe until last year, when it became a real issue for us. She canceled on Christmas on the 23rd. It was a blessing. It would’ve been horrendous if she had come. We all took tests and were negative, but she was still too afraid, and like I said, it’s a very long trip.

We were able to visit with her at her home in September, so I hope she will just move forward from here on out, but because of the last minute cancellation last year, I know that whatever she decides will be what I have to deal with.

Like I said, I hold Anthony Fauci personally responsible for what has happened to my family. I have 2 sisters and a nephew that are also germaphobes, so it apparently runs in the family. I lost my oldest brother in August 2021 to CoVid (several comorbidities) and we were never able to have a celebration of life for him. It was supposed to happen in late September/ early October of this year, but Hurricane Ian became a thing, so that got canceled.

Seems like it’s one thing after another. If James Cameron has to miss his premiere, I’m sorry for him, but it’s nothing compared to what my family has gone through the last 2+ years. Nothing.

Again, thank you for the prayers!

Update: Daughter came for Christmas!! She was here for 3 full days!

CoVid was barely mentioned, thank God. She still wears her mask at the airport, but not around me. So that was awesome!

We had a splendid visit and I thank you for your prayers!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
