A Shout Into the Void
A Shout Into the Void
Can we all agree that if you’re not vaccinated, you
Have to take a
Rapid COVID test before we get together?
If we can’t agree to that, we can’t come to Mom’s,
So I would really appreciate it. Please.
This was my plea; I thought it was simple, reasonable.
Mom is 80, and we didn’t want to risk exposure for her or
Anyone in my husband’s family who we would
See a few days later to celebrate the holidays.
Damn if I didn’t spend the first Christmas in my 56 years
Away from my Mom and family.
Yelling into the void at my unvaccinated nephews, I cry through the day.
