Admitting when you are wrong & sharing the experience helps others. It allows those of the wrong doing to grow & be humbled.

I realize having grandparents at 97 & 95yo, living independently is rare. Im thankful, yet selfish. I want them to live forever. They& #39;ve lived amazing 1/6

lives. I could brag but it& #39;s not my goal.

I& #39;ve never been so angry at myself for following the & #39;rules.& #39;

I have no clue what& #39;s right, wrong, nor what science may say tomorrow.

Guess what? Neither do you.

As additional studies conclude, so will the recommendations. 2/6

I do know I may never see my sweet, wise, adventurous, stubborn grandfather again.

I get he& #39;s 97, I should be prepared. Well, I& #39;& #39;m not.
I& #39;m furious at myself.
Not scientists, not politicians, not media; me.

I made a choice based on what I thought was the best info. 3/7

I chose not to visit my grandparents out of an abundance of safety precautions.

My grandfather& #39;s health has been failing. Since last wk, dangerously so. Before now, he& #39;s remained sharp. Phone calls are near impossible-his hearing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👎🏻" title="Thumbs down (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs down (heller Hautton)">We do try. 4/7

Due to his condition he will be transferred to a nursing care facility, where we& #39;ll be unable to see, talk or be there for him.

I take full accountability. Sure there are recommendations, mandates, etc... I will not blame anyone but myself. It was a choice I made. 5/7

6/7

Go hug your loved ones. Make sure they know you love them. Don& #39;t wait for them to come to you.

Put down your phones. Logged out of this cess pool.

Remember what truly matters in life.
