Ask Amy: New moms are left lonely when family won't fly | Li

Dear Amy: I am a new mom with two 1-year-old babies.
My wife and I love being moms, but I am pretty heartsick that due to the pandemic, none of my family members have met our fast-growing babies in person.
For the first year, I took this in stride and assumed that visits would be possible in 2021 — after vaccinations.
We are an eight-hour flight away from our family, and driving is not possible.
I don’t feel comfortable taking our unmasked babies on a long flight (safety-wise).
However, my family members are either unwilling to vaccinate, or are vaccinated, but with no plans to visit.
