My parents--who do not live with us--are staying with us for Thanksgiving. They are, in fact, staying with us right now.
Why? Because for 1.5 week of every 3 weeks, my parents travel for my mom& #39;s cancer treatments. They stay with us while she& #39;s receiving treatment.

We are well aware of the risks. My mom spends 10 days out of every 21 in and out of doctors& #39; offices and the hospital, going to appointments or receiving treatment.
She has no choice about it. It& #39;s this, or she dies.

While she& #39;s here, we wear masks. We social distance. Every window in the house is open with fans going.
My parents will be having Thanksgiving dinner "with" us...from a completely separate part of the house. We cannot and will not eat in the room together.

This isn& #39;t a fun, happy, celebratory time for us. It& #39;s scary. We worry about even our limited exposure resulting in us making my parents sick. We worry about their more frequent exposure resulting in them making us sick.
I would love for my parents to be safely tucked away at home right now. I would love for my family to be safely tucked away alone in our house right now.
That& #39;s not possible.
And all of y& #39;all running around like Typhoid Mary this holiday season puts us even more at risk.
