6. Hard to say who made the excuse

They're getting older and more distant.. watched them all summer in 2019, giving up the chance at some temporary income to do so. Then COVID came, and 2 years of no contact at all. This weekend was perfect for swimming (we have a pool). I have in the past asked my sister why they never come and swim, and her reply was that we never invited them. So we invited them. I guess the chance to be a part of their lives is pretty much gone.
