He called last week and all the flags flying that he was getting to a dire place. We decided that he should not visit Christmas and the only reason we considered was he is in need of a break. At the end of the conversation he reiterates so, we are forgoing a Christmas visit. And I said yes. UNLESS, it is that important for a break, then we risk it.

My point is, we have been doing so well isolating and doing without for 8 months and a little longer won't hurt us. Unless it hurts us. Then do what we have to do.
