Reader ‘entirely disapproves’ of Amy’s opinions on the matter.
To be clear, I don’t encourage people to pursue their DNA heritage – I do state that people have the right to know the truth about their DNA, if they choose to pursue it.
At the beginning of the pandemic, like most families, we connected on Zoom. There were tech hurdles for my parents, but they navigated them as best they could. However, also like most families, the desire to continue this has diminished, especially as people are doing more things in person. I’ve invested a lot in making these events happen. I purchased a paid plan so that we can go as long as needed. I host them at a time that’s not ideal for me but that seems to work best for the rest of the group, and I send out reminders with links to join and a funny image each month. I’ve also made slideshows and custom games for the virtual meetings.
