My condolences about your dad. That is rough.
My dad passed when I was a kid, but my mom is still kicking. I'm seeing her tomorrow and we are cooking dinner together - ham, veggies, and scalloped potatoes.
Mom and I aren't going to my brother's house this weekend for Xmas, as we normally would. Instead we are going up next weekend for New Years. On Monday I had "the talk" about covid with my brother, where I learned that his office had a covid outbreak recently - and half the employees got it. Better to know that now, I suppose. And his kids are still having play dates with other kids and going to the "ninja warrior" sessions at the local gym. So then, after much negotiation, we agreed that they would quarrantine during the coming week, and then me and our frail, elderly mom would come to visit.
Ah well, it's that time of year and it will be good to get together, even if it's a week late. I send good wishes and good health to all you guys, and your loved ones, this holiday season.

Sorry to hear that. I lost my dad almost 6 years ago. Just try and focus on all the good times you shared with him, be strong for your mom and hold onto the eternal hope to see him again one day.

My condolences to all in the thread that have mentioned the loss of loved ones. That can make this time of year difficult.

Hopefully a week is good enough. Sounds like that gathering might not be worth the risk and chalk it up to a better safe than sorry moment. My mom is 92 and is now pretty dependent upon her 4 kids for everything and we only got together in separate shifts, despite all of us being there in her house at different times to help her out. Adding everyone together in a small space is not worth the risk. This is very likely her last Christmas anyway, but I'd rather there be a better chance at another with us all together next year. The temporary separation is not the end of the world for most, yet it sure feels like some people act like it will be.
