Such a weird but common attitude. They seem to think they will live forever but all any of us have is this moment, now, and we should use it. My mother is 88 and it was more important for her to see her family and carry on with normal life than anything else. She is very level- headed.
You’re very lucky. My parents have missed my son’s wedding and the births of two great grandchildren over these two years. They consider us selfish for not complying for them. It’s beyond maddening.

I'm so sorry to hear that. You're right, I am lucky. My mother has great commonsense , not many people do.
Be grateful for all those who DID celebrate with you and your family.
