I declined my best friend's daughters wedding & shower.  She is also my Godchild.  I sent nice gifts for both occasions.  Don't feel bed.  All big groups of people should be avoided.  Be safe!

About 3 or 4 weeks ago, my oldest bestest friend said we should go out to eat, its been so long since we've been together. I told her I'm just not going out right now. 

I called to check on her week before last, and she and her daughter were sick with it. Last week her dh had it. 

Now, if I'd have gone out to eat with her, I may have gotten it too.

As my dad used to say: 'Safety first'.   

Never second guess yourself, especially when it's leaning toward safety for yourself and others.

What good advices, @ROMARY . Your dad sounds like a very wise man.

We are being asked to help our country for a few more months.  Just stay home.

Some people are sick of staying home, so they are starting to go out, others never saw the need to stay home to begin with. I have seen tantrums on fb from locals insisting they are NOT going to wear a mask. I don't get it.

I thank God I get along with my dh, and have a comfortable home. Because we are always here.

I know you did the right thing. I can't believe that a couple that cared about other people's well being would even consider a large wedding. I think they owe you an apology for being thoughtless. I don't know how old they are but they seem immature. I wouldn't be worried or even concerned what they thought. Take care of yourself and move on with your life.

There are so many gathering that have been missed this year you're not alone.  All of us have to do the right thing mask up and social distance.  You did the right thing it will be interesting to see how many from the wedding end of sick.  

My son and daughter in law are physicians they both are now positive for Covid, they have 2 small children I beg people to please follow protocol it's essential don't be selfish and think only of yourselves and the events you will miss, families are suffering.

I'm so sorry your son and daughter in law are sick, @marsha-ca. I am going to pray they fully recover quickly and that the children don't get it. 

I've seen so many drs and nurses on tv, begging people to please take this serious, I don't understand why people can't do it.

Thank you, @elated, they are pretty young. And prior to this, they have been responsible and mature. I'm wondering if Love is this blind? I thought that when covid started running rampant here, they would reschedule, but they have not. 

[marsha-ca]

thank you for your prayers truly appreciate the kindness

@beach-mom @happycat   Thank you both for the kind words.   Hey--I am so far from perfection, believe me.  And I've got a worry on my mind at the moment that I have to resolve in a matter of days, so if you can spare a prayer please pray for me.  

My son is close to forty, daughter-in-law about five years younger, and first marriage for them so I think it has helped them to stay level-headed, plus their personalities are sort of the "born old" type.

@beach-mom Sounds as though your daughter has good, sensible friends.  The love will last and perhaps be strengthened as they patiently wait for a better time to hold their wedding without angst.

Warm regards, ladies, and stay healthy,

Don't feel bad, if you are not comfortable, just don't go. Better to be safe than sorry.

I understand your feelings of being torn about not going. However I also think you are wise not to go to an event where there will be a large crowd. It is unfortunate but it is just the way it is right now. We are not going to our SIL company Christmas party for the same reason. His company does it every year and has their employees bring their family. He and our daughter understood perfectly and even they are hesitant about going.
