COnfession hour: Worst COVID induced fear over the last two years?

Am I a jerk? Haven’t seen my parents in over 1.5 years due to covid. We FaceTime often but they live in the NW and I live in TX. We are all vaccinated but they are both in the at risk population. From what I’ve heard from friends back home, things are shutting down again due to the variant. I’m concerned about traveling & potentially giving my parents something that will make them sick, as well as getting stuck there if things closed down. I know they will be disappointed if I cancel - wwyd?

And our job wonders why no one wants to work for us and stay working.
