For those of you who were nice enough to share your thoughts and comments in part 1, here's a follow up.

Later this afternoon my son called to ask if we'd attend a second party for their daughter to be held the next day for just my wife and I, my daughter and her husband (both unvaxxed) and their 2 daughters. No conditions, just come and be with them. Sure, I said. Happy to come. Less people = more time to spend with the grandkids. So for that day...good ending.

Now my brother and I used to be best buds for most of our lives until he called me crazy for following Q and me thinking A) Trump was better than Killary and B.) that I thought the whole Covid thing was a hoax. He thought I had gone stark raving nuts and was off my rocker. Well, he wrote me off, said he wanted nothing more to do with me and said I needed to see a shrink. Since that brush off we've only spoken for a few minutes by phone and exchanged 2 or 3 brief emails. That it.

Well, one of his boys is now engaged and like his father, a stanch liberal. First we got a save the day notice. Then, my son said they have a website saying all attendees must be fully vaxxed. Already my wife is throwing up her hands. She was looking forward to going and now this little tidbit of information.

I told her to stop fretting. Lots of time between now and August. Things could change however, in spite of my general optimism, a part of me is thinking it's doubtful anything could change their thinking between now and then. But miracles do happen and I believe God is in control, so I said we should just wait to respond. Let's see what happens over the next 6 months. When the deadline for RSVP happens if things are the same, we'll simply say we'd love to attend but we are not vaccinated and have no plans to be, so we won't be coming. Perhaps I end it with a note saying we don't believe in medical apartheid and can't support those that do. Dems used to own that narrative and now they promote it. So again, we will take the principled position and let the chips fall where they may if it comes to that.

With each passing day I'm more convinced that the left is amping up the crazy and committing crimes against humanity. They have lost any moral high ground they may have occupied in the past. I hope things change soon because we're in a civil war that could get much more ugly if true justice doesn't prevail soon. But whatever happens I'm happy being on the side of things I'm on. I know I'm not alone in my thinking and hope all of us can look forward to a better New Year.
