Am an genuinely wondering (as I'm sure many many are) how and if I'll get to see my parents again. Both around 70 and both with not great health (dad has MS and mum is constantly with some sort of pneumonia). They're only 400 miles away, but the other side of the Irish Sea. So involves either a flight or a ferry crossing. Taking my wife and 1yo daughter on either of those seems completely alien. I did book our xmas flights a while ago as Easyjet had a sale on and it was a moment of optimism/desperation. 95% expecting to cancel those or have them be cancelled. I could go myself, but then I'd be leaving my family here with no real/easy means of getting about/getting supplies as my wife doesn't drive and I wouldn't want them to use public transport if they can avoid it. I would also never forgive myself if I brought it with me/us as they are pretty well isolated from it living in rural NI.
They have support, my sister and her partner are close by. But I'd like to see them as much as I can before it's too late. And I'd like them and their granddaughter to have a relationship. There is no "need" for us to see each other (again, no reliance on either side for day to day support), but that's not the point.
I suppose this should be in the Covid Mild Bitching thread, if such a thing exists.
