There are good times ahead, I'm certain. Stay safe.

Will be staying in London now and cancelling plans to fly to Denmark on boxing day.
Pretty shit, but such is this virus. Hope your daughter's okay and you meet up once she's free to again.
Thanks both, I very much appreciate your kind words.
My daughter is very close to her sister (the ex already had a daughter when we got together) and has very much missed her with going to live in London this year, so was really looking forward to a big family get together on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day too - all that is off now due to her testing positive, so she's really upset that she's somehow ruined Christmas for everyone - doesn't ruin mine tbh because even after 20 years now it feels awkward sitting in my old home, with the 'newest' partner of the ex (he's been there about 10 years now) completely ignoring me and the ex clearly wanting me to go to relieve all the tension.
I just stay for a hour to do my duty so to speak, play with the kids of my daughters sister and leave when there's an appropriate moment to do so. I do enjoy seeking my daughters sister again, I've always liked her and its been my blessing to watch her grow up.
What makes it all the more stranger is that on the very rare occasions I've met the bloke without the ex or anyone else being present, he's been really friendly and chatty with me!
I assume he's probably doesn't want to rock the boat with the ex in someway, when she's around?
Fwiw I got on fine with most of her other previous boyfriends and her ex husband even when the ex was there.
Who knows, folk do what they have to do I guess.
Getting back to my daughter though I'm sure she'll be just fine and she'll see her sister over New Year instead, so all's not lost.
Hope your girl friend is fine Troy and sorry to hear your Christmas visit to your mum and dad's and your trip abroad is off.
Hopefully you at least could get to your parents at New Year instead if we aren't on some sort of restrictions by then - which do seem likely to be heading our way.
I plan to have a walk to the ex's to surprise my daughter later today, picking up some chocolates and a bottle of prosecco on the way to attempt to cheer her up a little.
It will mean leaving them on the doorstep and her waving to me from the window but at least I get to see her whilst I can.
It is all a bit shit with Covid but for us at least it's just been an big inconvenience, many people have suffered much worse than that though.
Anyway, everybody stay safe and have the best Christmas you can with your loved ones.
