Dear Esther,

My family did pretty well during the last two years of the pandemic, and we are now trying to get back to our normal way of life again. Despite being fully vaccinated, a few of us had Covid recently. Since they were mild cases, it has caused us to become more relaxed and take greater risks in a pandemic. This is working out just fine for us but not everyone in our extended family feels the same way. I tried to plan a family gathering but some of the family members do not feel comfortable attending. I am trying to be patient but enough is enough. I am tired of living my life in fear of a virus and so desperately want to get back to a typical lifestyle complete with family gatherings. How do I get my family back together?
