We have openings

The call came Friday.   Six days of hard labor building a prayer garden and then my phone rings.   “This is ... Day Care, we have openings and Joe can come with us”

This is totally caught between a rock and a hard place.   Why is it you have openings while everyone else is on a wait list?    Why is it his last place had to close because they couldn’t uphold the state guidelines?    Do i put him someplace that may provide cognitive stimulation but also a chance at COVID?    Do I keep him home and physically safe but potential increase the speed of his decline?    

There is no good answer.   There is no right answer.    For me, for us, I had a long talk with Liz and with my mom.   For now, while mom can handle everything, he will remain home.   We will try to shut down one access to COVID and put the rest in God’s hands.   What else are we supposed to do?    I don’t want to shorten his time with us, but I also don’t want to introduce this virus Into my family.
