Family Visit Doesn't Look Good in Hindsight
Dear Abby | April 2nd, 2024 | Letter 2 of 3
DEAR ABBY: Two of my children contracted pink eye. We were assured by the doctor that after being on antibiotics for 24 hours, they would no longer be contagious. Feeling reassured, we isolated them for 24 hours and went about our plans to visit family as originally scheduled. I later learned that a few days after we left, three of my nephews, whom my sons played with often, all came down with pink eye. I have apologized, but I still feel guilty. We did everything the doctors recommended, yet we still gave it to others. Is there anything else I can do to make up for it? -- PINK WITH GUILT.
DEAR PINK: A large box of chocolates might sweeten the bitter aftertaste of your visit to that family. Or, go online and search for Ice Cream of the Month Club. If you do, you will find several companies that guarantee frozen deliveries nationwide. Include a message on the card, Apologies for the pink eye. (And be sure one of the flavors is strawberry to reinforce your sentiments.)
