I can't say no to my niece and family.

My niece called to tell me that her son had been invited to visit two universities here in the valley and that she wanted to visit us. I am a bit skeptical since we are suppose to social distance ourselves. I love her and her family so much and could not turn them away. They will be here tomorrow afternoon. I want to see them all (4 of them) so bad. What do you think I should do? They still need to be in the valley to visit those two universities. :( I'm sure she would oblige if I told her that it would be safer if they didn't visit but my heart aches from wanting to see them.
 

My niece and family know they are to wear masks and have been social distancing and following all rules. She is a biology teacher and she's the type who is very cautious about everything. We, on the other hand have had no visitors in months and are the ones who are leery. And you know what? I cannot wait to see them!
 
Wearing masks is mandatory. First, I'd take everyone's temperature. And unfortunately, you'll have to act as thought both your family and your niece's family are infected. Taking those precautions, during a pandemic is necessary. The virus doesn't care how much affection you have towards your niece, nor her affection toward you.
Since you are taking those precautions, enjoy the visit.
 
I miss my parents really bad. I worry i may never see them again if this crap keeps going. I don't dare get within a country mile of them though. They're in their 70s with plenty of health issues & I don't wanna bring the covid to them. But I'd love to hug them so bad.
 
I would welcome them, with social distancing. I feel like people forget that we need to keep our immune systems strong and one way to do that is to BE HAPPY and enjoy your loved ones. lonleyness and depression can kill you. I wonder how many suicides this pandemic is causing, just from people being sad and depressed?

@pamelasmithwick , I hope you enjoy your visit tomorrow. Like StarSong suggested, staying outside would be nice if you have a back yard. If everyone wears masks and washes hands, uses sanitizer, it should be okay and worth the risk.

My husband's friend who lives out of state was in town for something last week and wanted to drop by, I told my husband not to let him come over, and if he did they needed to stay in the yard, and he would have to wear a mask. He travels by plane a lot, has been going out to stores, the barber, and is always visiting different friends. I didn't think it was worth the risk, since we've been pretty careful since March and haven't had any company. His friend understood and it was no big deal in this case. If it was someone in my family, I'd try to make having them over work. Good luck, stay safe! 🧡
 
When we traveled the first full week of July, through Ohio stopped once to let dog go pottty & cool down.
Hubby & I took turns using restrooms,, didn't go to the food court.

Son had been tested few weeks before we got to his home,, felt safe staying with him.

We did wear masks when out & about.
The few places we ate at did practice social distancing,, wear your masks in.
